Cullen's Band Contest

Today my 12 year old went to Lumberton for a band contest. She played a solo piece and an four-person clarinet ensemble. She received "1'S" on both entries! I don't know where she got that talent. I tried to talk her out of band last year. I thought she was just doing something her friends were doing, but the band director called me on the first day of school last year and said Cullen came to his office crying. She really wanted to play the clarinet. Now, she's in Symphonic and Marching band.
