It's All About the Music!

Summer is almost over and school looms ahead for the Friday children. The oldest goes back to UGA and the other two are at Walton High. My son, Braxton, is a senior this year and is one of four drum majors for the band.
 
Band has become this boy's life. I don't think I've ever seen another human more in love with music and marching than Braxton Friday. A week at drum major camp in Indianapolis and then another week of band camp in Lagrange, GA, have convinced him that perhaps this is a career he might want to pursue. Just this weekend, he and some of his band geek friends went to a DCI (that's Drum Corp International) competition at the Dome and entered what he described as band heaven! Mainly because there was a band that marched to all the Les Miz tunes. 

It's a whole different world from the one I knew in high school. For me, it was cheerleading, clothes, and boys, not necessarily in that order. But for him, it's all about music.
