I've written before about my husband playing the tuba with the local community band. Sunday was the first concert for the 2023-24 season. There is another concert later this spring and then through the summer they will play in lots of little towns through the Upper Valley.
Dan wasn't sure I'd want to come to this concert as there were a lot of modern compositions. But it was easier for me to come than not. We had church in the morning then grabbed lunch then he reported to the middle school in Hanover where the concert was to be held. I brought a book along and sat on a bench with these lovely ladies.
If you click on the photo you can see Dan's tuba just beyond the woman in the red hat on the right.
Interestingly enough the granddaughters music teacher is also in this band. He's recently moved to the area after graduating from college. He plays clarinet and his girlfriend plays the French horn. She teaches music, too at another school.
