Here is another video of the Big Bad Bulldog Band, this was their final rehearsal for the OBA Contest. This was on Friday night before their football game on October 31st. The game was played at the University of Central Oklahoma. AJ is the subject of this video and you will find him along the front line and mostly centered in the frame and the horn of his instrument hangs down around his knees.

Here is a link to the article in the Oklahoma City paper about the OBA result: http://newsok.com/edmond-memorial-band-wins-third-place/article/3319317

After the last regular season football game last night AJ had an early morning and was up and off to his audition for the CODA (Central Oklahoma Director's Association) Honor Band. This would be his 3rd year in the CODA band. He made the 7th grade band, and last year as an 8th grader was in the 8th & 9th grade band. He is auditioning with the Bass Clarinet.

Last weekend AJ's Dad, Juan, made the trip to Tulsa to see AJ play in the OBA Contest and was also able to join us on Sunday so that he could see AJ play in the OYO (Oklahoma Youth Orchestra) Symphonic Winds concert on Sunday afternoon. It was great both for Juan and AJ to have had him come spend the weekend with us. Thank You Juan for making the trip.
