The middle school students have to take either band, choir, or orchestra. After a presentation earlier this year, Matthew decided he wanted to do band. They had a screening on Saturday to start matching up the kids with their instruments.
Matthew went in thinking he really wanted percussion, but he found he didn’t enjoy it that much once he got in there. He tried oboe (doesn’t have the right mouth for it) and trumpet/French horn (could do well but “has a lot of lip” for the mouthpiece LOL), and he did well with both the trombone and the tuba. His favorite by far though was saxophone. The screener gave him the highest possible marks and wrote “best sound of the morning” on his form (Matthew’s school was the first group to be screened). Unfortunately, saxophone is also one of the most requested instruments, and they only take the top 10, so we have to wait to see if he will get it. If not, he will be on trombone, which was his second choice.
