I got one of those phone calls all parents enjoy so much today.

David’s band teacher called me to tell me about a scheduling change for classes today and after that he took the time to mention how great David is doing in band. It seems at Pep Band last night (basketball game), David was the lone drummer holding up the percussion section by himself for about 20 minutes. His teacher was very impressed with David’s abilities and wanted us to know how well he is doing.

On the home front, David just finished adding the final touches to his new drum set today with the addition of two base pedals. After much tweaking, screwing, rearranging and fixing (no Baldwin hardware involved), he has pronounced his drum set “perfect.” Just in time for him to turn **16** tomorrow.

Sigh…another one growing up! Happy Birthday David!
