Josh has been taking much time... on his clarinet! This weekend was the All-County Senior Honors Band concert where Josh performed, and he says it was amazing, but regrets that it was not a recorded concert. The pieces were extraordinary, difficult, and expressive, but the band nailed it all. In addition to the extensive rehearsing for the concert, Josh is has frequent rehearsals for pit orchestra for 'Annie', Academy of St. Cecila Youth Orchestra, and studies repertoire in private lessons with Mr. Fogleman to prepare for this year's county (and hopefully state) solo and ensemble festival. Melinda also participates in many of these, and in school they both play in the Symphonic Band, practicing for the upcoming concert.
