Information about Baby (Katie) Taylor

Hello again,

Two posts in one hour. That is definitely a record for me. I have had so many questions about Katie that I wanted to share a little bit with you all.

Katie is 4 and 1/2 months old and is starting to really enjoy exploring her world. She currently is learning to scoot around on the floor (not yet crawling) and eating baby food. The baby food is an adventure. She likes to smile when she eats which makes the food come out all over her. This, of course, makes her smile even more. :-)

Katie's best friend is her dog, Maddie. The two are nearly inseparable most of the time. I posted a few pictures for you so that those of you haven't seen her can.

End of Summer Lessons/Band

Wow, what a summer! Last night was our performance of the summer jazz band, youth band, and junior band. The concert went very well. It was really hot, but the music was excellent.

Jazz Band- I was proud of the work that you guys did this summer. We went a long way with some very tough music. The solos were well played. It was neat to see so many kids in the jazz band. I also appreciated the help that we got from the high schoolers and alums for the performance and in rehearsals.

Junior Band- You guys nailed that concert. It was really cool to see that so many of you decided to go ahead and play solos. After the concert, I had even more kids ask if we would do more soloing next year so that they could get a chance. I will absolutely try to find a way to make that happen. Many of the Municipal Band members heard our concert and said that you guys sounded great. I was also happy to see a lot of you all watch the Municipal Band concert, especially with as hot as it was last night.

High School Helpers- Thanks again for your help and support. It is great to see that so many of you care about helping out the younger students. You were indispensable this summer.

I hope that you all have a great ending to your summer and that you stay safe. See you in the fall.

-Mr. Taylor
