Brandon's Spring Concert

Brandon had his final band concert in April.  Every year this concert is supposed to be outside in the courtyard, but sadly, every year it has rained, so they've had to move it inside.  This year, however, it didn't rain and it was such an amazing concert.  The weather was perfect for the evening and they did such a great job!

Here's Brandon in the Jazz Band, playing his alto saxophone....




Here's another one....





And here he is in the concert band, playing his flute (except that he appears to be taking a break right now)....What a talented young man!  Brandon was awesome and it was one of my favorite concerts ever!  The band teacher, Mr. Mansfield, is such a great teacher.  Brandon has really enjoyed him the last three years, and I am sad that he is graduating from Bonneville now.....but I guess Brandon will have other adventures at Cottonwood, right?  (But we will miss you, Mr. Mansfield)....Keep up the GREAT work!!  (Oh, and Brandon will visit for sure).


On a side note, we just started Brandon in private flute lessons last week.  He is very excited.  We have tried to find a teacher who teaches both the flute and the alto sax, but we didn't have much luck.  So, we'll try the flute for now and see how it goes....Brandon will be playing both instruments in high school, of course.  Crazy kid!  (I can't even get a sound out of either one)...Good job, Brandon!  You are awesome!

He looks supercool in his sunglasses. Just right for a saxophone player! What awesomeness!
