Turning thirteen is a pretty big deal, and Danny had a stellar week. It started on December 7 when he participated in solo and ensemble festival at Scranton middle school. About 50 middle schools were represented and all the students were judged by a high school or college band teacher. This was optional, and Danny had to get a piece of music, practice it on his own, hire an acompaniest, rehearse with her, then go play by himself in front of a judge. I am impressed that these kids do this, it is quite an undertaking. His scheduled time was 8am, so he had to be there at 7:15 to warm up and be ready to go. He did a great job, and scored a 2 rating, with 1 being the best and 5 being the worst. Pretty good for his first time and we were very proud of him!
Next up was the third and final Quiz Bowl Team competition.
His team ended up taking first place, with the other brighton squad taking second! Danny answered a couple of neat questions to help with the score. He brought birthday cupcakes and his teammates were very happy to wish him a happy day!
