French Horn!

I was never in band at any level, but Adilyn wanted to try it for 6th grade. I really didn't want her to because I just figured that it was one more thing that we would have to keep up with. So, I tried to convince her to do choir or theatre arts, but nothing worked! We went up to the band instrument tryout, which was pretty hilarious. They literally look at the way your lips are shaped, how your teeth are formed, how much air you blow out, etc. It's pretty crazy! After they put you through a little tryout thing, they decide what instrument or instruments you would be good at. Adilyn could have chosen flute, French horn, or tuba. I wanted her to pick tuba so bad because I thought it would be hilarious, but she went with French horn. Good news is that you check them out from school, and you don't have to rent/buy one. Bad news is that it's a pretty hard instrument, and I have absolutely zero skills in music to help her. Oh well, she's on her own for this one!!! She does look adorable holding that huge thing, though!
