Our marching Jayhawk

Thomas' class is learning about marching bands this week, in preparation for getting to participate in the KU Homecoming Parade next month. One of his teachers is a former KU Band member and her sister is apparently still in band, so they visited Pre 2 yesterday with their instruments. The sousaphone made quite an impression!

He could hardly wait to get home and get out the trumpet to wow us with his ability to play the KU Fight Song. Please excuse the shaking camera; it's difficult to film while convulsing with laughter.

Thanks for the laugh! He willed that thing into submission, didn't he?! I love it. Can't wait to show it to Wyatt ;)

Thomas' rendition of the KU Fight Song has now made it all the way to Houston, Texas. Please tell Thomas that I loved it! Thanks for sharing. -Matt Price (Miss Lori's brother)

That is absolutely priceless! He is so intense AND he has the rhythm pattern down. I can definitely hear the "Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk" part. Go KU! Way to go, Thomas!!! Grandma RoRo thinks you've got talent.

Although Thomas will most likely spend the next 13 plus years in the company of many teachers, I can assure you that none will adore him as much as I do. :)
I'm looking forward to hearing Thomas's trumpet solo in person for Friday's show-n-share! ~Miss Lori

Well, I must say he gets more sound out of a trumpet than I ever could! You go, Thomas!

I just came to this post to watch the video again simply because I needed a good giggle. Thanks T!
