Okay, seldom, but they are very musically enjoyable. West Suburban Homeschool Band is one of two homeschool bands that I know of in the country,and last Saturday, they marched in 30 degree cold in the dark to bring Santa to his Wheaton, IL home. The band boasts between 150 and 185 members between all of its groups. My daughter is in her second year and is a member of the junior band (ie, can carry a tune this year).The coolest thing about this band is it is open to any Christian homeschooler. We have had a chance to share our Catholic faith with many of our non-Catholic Brethren who may have been raised to be weary of Catholics. Many priests and brothers come to our concerts, as do some local pastors of other churches. They see our holy lives and genuine love, we see their enthusiasm for evangelizing and great knowledge of scripture. Everyone is kind and loves one another. It is a great experience for the kids.
I'll post band performances here regularly, if you live near by, it is a great chance to see the band. I am always impressed at the caliber of their performances. This week they, like Tiffany before them, played the mall. Yorktown to be precise.
