One Time, at Band Camp


Early on Saturday morning (i.e., prior to 8am) I took Jack to watch the University of Michigan marching band rehearse for their half-time show at the upcoming football game. Jack had attended one previous session, with Kelly and Grammy, and thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the drummers.

In addition to hearing a variety of Lady Gaga songs turned into melodical instrumentals, Jack got a special treat - one of the band members let him hold a trumpet, prior to packing it away.

I've always felt that touching a trumpet is, like losing a tooth and getting a dog, one of life's major milestones.
