Sixth graders are given the opportunity to begin a musical instrument. Porter asked if he could play the french horn. He convinced me with "I don't have to rent or buy an instrument, Mom, because the director has one for me to use." Perfect. Now he's practicing the horn, the piano, and the recorder.His first attempts ;-) He has the pefect cheeks, even though he's not suppose to use them. This is the mellophone, used in place of a french horn when marching as it can face the crowd.

GOOD FOR HIM!!!! I love that he wants to do it.
He looks SO much like Zach to me.
richard used to be sent to the back yard to practice in the summer. Trooper wailed along with him. Hope he will continue to be excited.

Porter, I love that you are willing to take on new challenges. Good skills with presenting your case to Mom why a horn would be feasible. Can't wait to hear your progression. Enjoy!
Good for him for having an interest in the horn. Hope he has fun with it.
Funny!
Brass instruments are my favorite.
ENJOY Porter!
I remember Daniel when he started the trumpet, Brandon was on the Trombone, and I walked around with advil. It was like hippos on parade. Sometimes, I miss those days
Hey Porter I bet you can't guess who used to play the French Horn decades ago...... in Montana, a boy, you know him, lives in Shresbury now...... need anymore hints?
Looking good, keep those cute cheeks in, it's not a Tuba.
