Jacob Joined the Band -- Surprised Us All!!


Jacob came home from school one day and announced that he was asked to play the xylophone and marimbas in the school marching band. He has been taking a Percussion Tech class that he loves at school and that teacher is also the band teacher. Jacob can read music and loves to drum on anything that is anywhere near him, soooooo ...... we have an official Castle View High School Band member! He played at his first game on Friday night and it was really fun to watch. That kid continually shows us a different side of him! We love the Star Trek-looking uniforms too!

Way to go Jacob!

Here he is playing the xylophone -- couldn't get the whole song or it wouldn't load on the blog! He did really well for his first big performance.

He looks awesome! Love the video, I just can't believe he learned how to play it so quick. Go Jacob! So is he like "first chair" since he is right up front? I think the girls are really going to go gaga for the whole trekkie look! I think you guys are going to have to get him one for his birthday (are they crazy expensive?) so he can give us concerts at home - he and Kelsey can whip up some sort of duet!
