This year, Gabriel is in 8th grade. He was in band last year, and is in band again this year. He plays the bassoon. He was the only bassoon in the whole band last year. This year, there is another bassoon in beginning band. Anyway, this year the LAJH 8th grade band was invited to play with two different high school bands during their schools football game. Last Friday, they played with the Clay High School marching band. Next Friday, they will play with the Middleburg High School marching band. I hope to god that Middleburg has a better band than Clay does! Clay High School has the worst marching band I've ever seen in my life! Their band director is pathetic!! I can't even go into everything that was wrong with this band, and the experience the 8th graders had with them. I will say this, though, Gabriel will NOT be going to Clay High next year. Like I said before, I hope the Middleburg High experience is better.
Here are some pictures from the Clay High marching experience.

| This is the only time you will ever see a bassoon in a marching band. Well, except for next week, when he will be with a different marching band. |

| Yes, this marching band took off their jackets and played half dressed until half time. |

| They got dressed again for half time. |
