Friday Funsies - Part 2 - Play That Funky Music White Boy

My son had his last band concert and we were forced, coerced, guilted, thrilled to attend. I love band concerts because the instructors are so enthusiastic about the pieces. They describe each one not unlike a sommolier at a wine tasting. (I have been to wine tastings - Jay and I drank our way through Napa Valley when we were younger. I have never personally used a sommolier, though I know what that it because I watch Top Chef so I'm being pompous, but I'm not.) Jay, of course, chose to sleep through most of it. I, of course, forgot to bring anything more tech-worthy to record the event than my cell phone, which is really one step lower than having Steve from Blue's Clues draw me an illustrated version. Here he is, Alto Sax #3.

The best part was at the end. The teacher had collected baby & recent photos of all the kids and played them as a slide show with the last piece. I knew it would be a decent pic because it was on the projector screen and seriously - we were in the 5th row. I had my phone set to record, and once I saw it was starting alphabetically, I paused and waited. And waited. And waited. And as soon as I saw a "W" last name, I hit "resume." Guess what my phone did? "Would you like to record a new video?" and took me back to the main menu. And Justin Williams came and went before I could even figure out how to get back to videos. Therefore, as usual, I am still the loser mom who has very little proof of half the accomplishments of my children to share, other than what is hoarded in my head. But, in all fairness, he also pulled an Ashlee Simpson and fake played the sax for the whole program because his reed split right at the start, so I think we're both good with how this one turned out.
