Sixteen Music Groups for Josh

This morning I took Josh to National Airport for his trip to San Antonio. This week I did a count of the number of music groups in which he has participated since last July. I listed them on a paper and was shocked to discover that there have been 16 different groups.

Several of the groups meet all day for three to four days while others have longer term demands. Still others like the Ambassadors have a heavy time demand over four to six weeks.

Here is the list:
- Corps band
- Corps songsters
- VA Ambassadors band (Europe group)
- VA Ambassador choir
- Oakton Marching Cougars
- Oakton Jazz I
- Oakton Symphonic Band (leed trombone)
- Oakton Concert I (clarinet)
- District Band
- VA Tech Honor Band
- George Mason Honor Band
- Oakton Brass
- Orchestra
- Crossmen
- Wizard of Oz pit orchestra
- Concert II (trombone fill in for four weeks going into the Myrtle Beach competion)

And into the mix there is weekly lessons.

Yesterday, Josh received his SAT scores. He scored very well and will not be redoing the SAT to improve his scores (many high school students take the exams two to three times). Josh's scores are well above what he needs to get into the three colleges of his choice.
