A little brag

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

DS went to his very first UIL band competition yesterday. He got a score of "Superior" for both snare and timpani. He has been working really hard to be ready for the judges, so I am really excited that he did well!

That's great! Keep up the hard work, Dude! Who knows, if you continue to do well at this, you might end up being able to play in a Disney orchestra one day.

Great Job!

DS just read all of the replies. Thanks for all of the good wishes!!

Or better yet, a drum corps!!!

Or best of all, someplace that'll pay you a decent wage to play!

Since he seems to really like drumming I would probably let him join a corps in a couple of years. He just turned 13, so he's not quite ready for that yet!

Hey, Crossmen are right down there in San Antonio!

That's like 4 or 5 hours from here. Not a drive I care to make frequently, but I can check into it and see what programs they have. Thanks!!

Congrats ​

​

to your son and to you (since you probably, might have, possibly, a little something to do with it) (maybe).

I am curious to see if they will send out an e-mail today with everyone's scores.

 

[OrlandoMike]

Do they actually give a score, or just lump into categories like Excellent, Good, Fair etc.....?

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

DS's rating was Superior = 1. The kids rank somewhere between Superior and Poor, so not really a numeric score other than 1-5.

I am curious to see how the other kids scored, though. I know his 2 friends who play sax probably did really well. I want to see how the other percussion kids scored.

Good for him! Congratulations!
