Congrats to Courtney!!!!!

Just a quick little post to let you all know that the West Ottawa 7th grade band that Courtney is a part of won First Division!!! They really exceeded what was expected of them. Maddi and I got the chance to go and listen to them perform and they were sooooo good. No I am not just being partial because one of my children was involved! They were exceptional!! We even went into the band room after their stage performance to see how they did on their sight music, and they blew those of us that were in there away. This part that was being judged, was where they were given music that they have never seen, played, or practiced before and they had 7 minutes to look at it, discuss it, and then play it. They did two parts of this and when it was over, the judge stood up and commended them on how well they did and how wonderful it was to see how they worked together by listening to each other and feeding off of one another. He could not find 1 mistake and that is amazing. Of course a lot of credit has to be given to Mr. Wheeler because he has done a wonderful job with them!! So once again, CONGRATULATIONS to Court and her 7th grade band!!!!!!!
