Weeks ago, tryouts had occurred for band placement in the 3 top bands for 7th and 8th graders. The last Friday, before school got out, Carter texted Blake and I telling us he had made the top Honors band for baritone sax. He was SO excited and he tells a great story of how he found out. He scanned the top Honors band list and saw his good friend's name, Elijah, had made Honors for Alto Sax, so Carter walked away disappointed and then Elijah said, "Carter, you got Bari Sax in Honors!" It's the largest of all sax's. Many say the strongest lungs get the Bari, as it is truly gigantic! We are incredibly proud of Carter. His band director, Mrs. Kim Garza wrote, "Proud of Carter! He's done great work in band with his playing!"
