Day 11 ~ Middle School Jazz Band and Music Class...
It's almost a 'gimme' really. No digging deep, searching for a gratitude on this Friday evening. I have the deepest appreciation for all of the Middle School musicians that put on this winter concert each year, and unending gratitude for their teacher, Marshall. My cheeks ache from smiling, and I'm not going to lie, I always tear up throughout the night. It's a beautiful thing to watch these kids conquer their nerves and showcase what they've learned so far. It was a great set list that had the crowd hooting, toe-tapping, and singing along to some of the songs (The Cure, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Counting Crows, Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal....How could you not?).
