Jazz

photo borrowed from downtown Silver Spring website because I forgot my camera today.

We went to an all day jazz festival in downtown Silver Spring today. We ended up staying for 3 hours because Calder loved it so much. I didn't expect him to last very long but he was riveted. He danced, twirled, sang, tapped his toes and lead the music. He asked if he could have a turn to go up and play music. I told him he would have to wait until he was a little older. He said he wanted to play the piano when he is three. We'll see how interested he is at 3.

One of my favorite parts was stage 2. It was the stage where the highschool jazz competition was going on. It brought back so many memories and I could see how nervous those kids were. I remember feeling that way before competitions but loving it just the same. Someday I would love to take Calder to a marching band competition. I think he might really get into it.
