Cowbell

Thursday there is a band concert at 6:30 at the middle school. Middle Child will be playing french horn in the middle band. Also at 6:30, there is a third grade musical performance. Little Bit has a real, live, rarely given musical instrument part. Our youngest child will be proudly representing the rhythm section on cowbell. (For those unfamiliar with the rarity of elementary children being accompanied by anything other than a recorded track or upright piano, it's a BIG deal to get an "instrumental" part.) This sort of double booking happens rarely, and it would hit when the mister is in another state until 9:00 p.m. So. Another mommy will take Erin to the elementary program, and I will drive Kate to the middle school. I am going to race out of Kate's concert to scoot over to the elementary in hopes of catching a little cowbell, grab my third grader, and make another trip to the middle school.
