Ty is not my oldest, not the youngest, not the only girl. He might not get the best grades or have advanced classes or be the most athletic. And he may not always receive the praise he deserves. Ty is the BEST helper, he is the planner and organizer, he does what is right even if it is not popular. Ty is funny and playful and social. Ty has not loved middle school this year, but he does love band! He plays the saxophone and practices alot. This year Ty spent time as first chair, got a superior on his solo and tried out for symphonic band. Ty was very suprised to win one of four (two girls, two boys) awards for "Outstanding Band Member". He was also the only 6th grade saxophone player to be selected for Symphonic Band. Hooray for Ty!!!
fyi: Bryce also tried out for symphonic band and did not make it. He is fine with it. He was disappointed, but will enjoy being one of the best in 8th grade band. He likes band, but not the way Ty does and we all agree it is good for Ty to have something he is better at than Bryce! Ty's good friend Tristan was the other boy selected as Outstanding Band Member.
