Merry Christmas

A very Merry Christmas to all.

Wasn't sure what kind of a message I should deliver, so I'm going to just give you some music -- clips of the boys performing in their school band Christmas concert on Monday night.

The first song is "Believe," from the movie The Polar Express. Peter is usually a saxophonist, but is playing drums on this piece (the band doesn't have a percussionist, so some of the advanced students are filling in for different songs). Listen for the nice clarinet part just after the flutes near the beginning, and watch for John -- the only one wearing a Santa hat and getting into the Christmas spirit for the concert.

Next up is "Joy to the World," a saxophone ensemble piece, with Peter on lead alto sax.

Finally, the concert finale, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," with John again on clarinet, and Peter on alto sax.

Oh, and one last thing.....

My kids bring such joy to my world, and I hope they've brought a little to yours, too.
