Matthew and his band mates performed today at the elementary school Christmas recital. He was blowing real hard on his saxophone and he also played the snare drums for one of the songs. It was a twist on the traditional songs that I know. The kids performed "Castles and Kings", "Jingle Bones" and "Yo Christmas Tree!". It was a really great to watch him play and we were very very proud. Tony had the opportunity to attend since he is on the mend.
There has been a lot of rehearsals for the kids over the past three and a half months and it was very hard to hear the same songs over and over again. Practice makes perfect and the kids were able to achieve this moment on stage. Matthew and his band mates will have to perform at the school assembly next Friday and then holiday vacation starts. Three glorious weeks of sleeping late and doing nothing for Matthew. He's really looking forward to it.
