Riley the Trombonist



This blurry photo is Riley as I sit behind her at her BJH Band performance. The best performers go on last, so she is waiting with the rest of her audience in the back of the auditorium. The girl sitting next to her is Madamba Number Two, I found out.

At the end of the performance, the teacher wanted to make a note that out of all these kids, only a few kids tried out for the So Cal Honor Band, only one performer made the band and only one performer made "alternate". Riley was the one that made alternate and all her fellow band members applauded. Riley is not one to seek the limelight, so it was unusual to hear her name. Naturally, she turned bright red in the back of the brass section as she stood up. Nice job, Riley!
