Way to Go, Xander!

Xander's band teacher, Mrs. Phillips, told Xander he needed to try out for a competition sponsored by the Fairfax County Band Directors Association.  He practiced hard and was very excited.  When he went in to  play, he had a memory lapse and had to start over again.  He was really bummed and was sure he didn't place at all.  However, the judges praised him up and down about how well he sounded and his tone and technic.  They also were amazed at how well he recovered from his memory lapse.

He ended up getting second place!  They were that impressed!  He was over the moon and it was an amazing experience for him!
