Ear Plugs Please

Madelyn has decided to give band a whirl. Her dad and I encouraged her to be in band but let her know that if she starts this year we want her to play through at least the eighth grade. She had to do some pondering before she was willing to commit. Once she committed then she had to decide what instrument she wanted to play. First it was the trombone, but then when trying out different instruments in class she discovered that she was pretty good at flute, but her final decision was the trumpet. Thankfully we found a great deal for a gently used trumpet on Craigslist and didn't have to spend $900 for a new one. If it makes it through the first year we definitely got our moneys worth.

Now where are those ear plugs??
