This One's For The Girls

Go Emma!

Our little Emma (8th grade) called yesterday from All-Conference Band try-outs and with a very dissappointed tone in her voice said, "Mom, I only got... (exaggerated pause) FIRST CHAIR!!" Wooooooooooooooooooo!!!! She beat out South Harrison's Senior darling piccolo player (only one piccolo gets picked) and secured first chair in the flute section!!! Just had to brag!! p.s. She's the short flute player in front. Just look between the 2 huge heads of the boys on the sidelines. (I know...it's a terrible picture. But it's the only digital available at the moment.)
