Did you know this is Jazz Appreciation month? I didn’t know it until Karlee’s jazz teacher told me that it was. I guess that’s why there are so many jazz festivals going on. The jazz band is traveling to two festivals this week! AND, they are putting on their concert this week at the school. Should be a fun week!
I’m glad Karlee will be able to participate. Thank goodness when she got hit in the head, it wasn’t directly in her eye. She was busy playing this weekend for the VHS Drama, Beauty and the Beast. She was asked to play the piano in the orchestra and they had just finished the last performance on Saturday evening. She was about to go up to “Luminaire” and tell him what a great candle he had been. He didn’t know she was coming up behind him and he happened to wave his pvc pipe “candle” out in a broad gesture and met up with Karlee’s eyebrow. I won’t go ino the gory details but you know what they say about head wounds.
Fortunately, one of the coaches was there and was able to get a medical kit and wash out the wound and when it quit bleeding, he put several of those little bandaids that helped to close up the cut. By the time i got there she was feeling a little better. The coach told us to watch for any signs of a concussion.
She did fine all day yesterday…..just a slightly swollen eye and a little pain that some advil took care of. So this afternoon she is off with the jazz band to Waycross.
Doesn’t that sound fun? A blanket on the ground, a plate of fried chicken and potato salad and some great jazz music playing in the park. I appreciate jazz, i really do!
