Every year in the Denver metro area, there is an audition for the Citywide Band and Orchestra. The best students from all over are the ones chosen for these bands. This year for the first time in his life, my son was selected as one of the top bass guitar players in the city, at the middle school age. Anyone get the idea that his bass playing daddy (who never made citywide by the way!) is a little proud of him?









And I think my favorite picture- my little Steve Harris! Notice the Iron Maiden stickers he stuck all over my bass...



And I have to say that this wouldn't have happened without the hard work and dedication of Mr. U'ren, Ravan's teacher at Martin Luther Kind Middle School. That man goes way above and beyond the call of duty, like all of Ravan's teachers. What a noble profession! Ravan and Mr. U put so much time and work into this. Thank you, Mr. U!
