Jack had a surprise band concert this week. I say it’s a surprise because I only heard about it on Monday and the concert was On Tuesday. Talk about giving a little notice eh?
Me: Jack, how come you didn’t tell me about this concert! If we had some notice I would have invited some people! Now we’re rushing around and our schedule is all messed up 😦
Jack: I told you about it last year remember?
Me: sigh.

Later that night…
Me: you guys were so awesome at your concert… You looked like you were having fun…
Jack: Well, that 2nd song was impossible to play I kept getting confused.
Me: I thought you guys practiced? You should have practiced more?
Jack: You don’t understand…that song has confusing parts and the timing signatures are all messed up and 4/4 goes down to 2/4 and then the rests are only half as long in those parts but you don’t know that so it was very confusing to play.
Me: Um. Oh.

Lol! I didn’t even know what he was saying it was so funny and I’m sure I messed up exactly what he said. But he ranted for like a full minute with all these words about timing and rests and fourths LOL. I so do not know how to read music that it is hysterical.
But yay! Jack was right in front for the first time in five years!!!!

Jack plays alto sax. He isn’t in the marching band though, just the school band. 🙂
