Last night was my younger daughter's final 5th grade band concert. I've known all along that she is a gifted flute player (and musically, in general), and that's been mentioned several times by music teachers. (Not to mention by my aunt when my daughter was 3 days old.)
But last night was especially gratifying. She was given one of four "Band Member of the Year" medals, singled out for her talent and dedication, working way beyond what is required and always challenging herself. That was evident last night when she played the Raider's March from the Indiana Jones movies.
I am very proud of her anyway; it was so gratifying to see her recognized for what I already know is true!
Here is video of Clara playing her piece.
