76 Trombones In the Big Parade

I am now the proud mother of 2 band members. Peter signed up the week before spring break to play the trumpet, the instrument he must play for a year before he can switch to the one he really wants, which is the french horn. Today Steven signed up for the trombone. It was a race to the end deciding between the baritone and trombone, but much to Steven's horror, the trombone won the race as soon as the band director said the bus drivers won't let baritones on the bus because they are too big. So, trombone it is, simply because he can transport it. It's time for him to learn that cirmcumstances often dictate decisions.
