new adventures

B went to the first session of String Academy this afternoon. She is pretty certain she wants to play cello. So here we go with the cost of the instrument and the stuff she needs to begin. She asked me if we could go get her instrument today---we weren't even out the orchestra door. The goal of the director is to pump up the orchestra program in our town. The kids are 4th and 5th grade, and when they reach junior high, the idea is that they can jump right into the advanced class. And then they can be more experienced going into high school as well.

But that means she wouldn't be doing marching band. ;-(
