Darren was very excited to start band this year in middle school. He is in 6th grade at Mesa Verde Middle School and chose band as his elective. He chose to play trumpet since that's what Jason played at that age, and still had his trumpet in our garage! (yay) Darren has really taken to it and is enjoying it very much. He had his first big performance at the school for a Winter Concert. He played in the beginning band and I was impressed at how much these kids have learned since September. Way to go, Darren! We are so proud of you! Keep up the good work!
Another bonus to the evening was that they took our admission fees at the door, and surprisingly handed us raffle tickets in exchange. At the end of the night, they did a drawing to see who would get half the pot. We won! The boys were so excited and are still debating on how to spend their winnings.... $276.50. Can you believe it? Merry Christmas!

You had to pay to get in to the concert? Glad you got your money back, and then some!
Blow that horn, Darren. You and Joshua will have to play duets sometime soon!
Go Darren! So cool that he can play the same instrument as Jason did.
That first pic is awesome! It looks like he's the star of the show. Does Jason know David also played the trumpet. They and Tom should form a little dad trio somtime.
Memories Darren...You look pretty Hot as a trumpet player!!! Keep it up. Your Dad was pretty good at it also. Love Papa and Nana xoxoxo
Wow! What a talent to pursue. That's great!
