Keelan's Christmas Band Concert

Keelan's school band and orchestra had their Christmas concert on Thursday night.  It was fun time with family and friends, and especially with Caylie yelling, "Kee-an!" across the auditorium when she saw him come in.  (Not during the music, fortunately!)  Keelan really enjoys learning the trumpet and we are proud of the progress he's made this year.

I meant to get a photo of him in his suit, but forgot, so here are a couple he took of himself, haha.  (He just saw this and said, "You're using THAT picture?)

Isn't this a great tie?  I got in on clearance at Target several years ago, but Jim never wore it.  Keelan snagged it up when he saw it.

The Gateway High School combined band and orchestra.

And here is a video of the band and orchestra playing "Sleigh Ride"!  You gotta hear this!

 After the concert we got this photo of the band director, Mr. Gonzalez, with the three Altman kids he's had (Brittany, Taylor and Keelan.)  He's retiring in a year or so, so he won't have any more!
