The 6th graders played 2 songs with the 7th & 8th graders then the 7th & 8th graders played 2 songs. Much to our surprise, Mrs Dudley announced that Ashley would be playing the last of the 2 songs with the 7th & 8th graders. Ashley knew but kept it a secret. She was awesome. Mrs Dudley is one of the best reasons for Ashley being at Abbott.
Ashley has played the cello since she was in 1st grade. She has never switched instruments. When Ashley was in 3rd grade, Mrs Dudley had her play in the class with 5th graders because she was bored and frustrated with the kids who did not practice and take it seriously.
In the Abbott band, there is one boy who plays the baritone. He is an eighth grader now. That explains Ms Crotty's push for Alex to play with her next year, he will be her baritone.
Drew & I are very proud of our talented kids.

And rightly so; they are terrific kids. But then I'm not as surprised as some might be becasue I know their parents. They are pretty terrific themselves.
