Bea played a concert this morning at Whittier Elementary School and then promptly followed it by slaying her last 3 exercises to earn the coveted Black π€ Belt! Congratulations Band π₯· Ninja! Your consistency and tenacity has paid off! Fun fact. Bea wasnβt going to join band. Mrs Kruse knew her parents and contacted them to get her to try it! (Way to go Mom & Dad!)
If you have a 4th grader who isnβt considering it, give them a nudge! You never know, they might just end up to be an amazing trombonist and Black Belt in band, like Bea!!
Be like Bea!
