Moms Runaway Turkey
Recently my mother made her nightly coop check to be certain all the chickens and turkeys were in their house. The chickens were accounted for, but a hen turkey was missing. We were all ‘encouraged’ to run outside in the dark, to search for the hen. We never found her. Eventually we gave up and went back inside. First thing the next morning all three turkeys were present. Instant relief for mom who knew something might...

The modern orchestral form, typically made of metal, is held horizontally and has an elaborate set of keys. The flute is the oldest of all instruments that produce pitched sounds, and was originally made from wood. Good quality modern day...
Why I Love Marching Band
Marching is more than just walking across a field. Marching while playing an instrument takes concentration and determination. Maintaining a 8-to-5 stride isn’t easy (That’s insider talk for taking eight steps each five yards). When marching there are many things you have to pay attention to. For example making sure you’re an equal distance between two people. Being sure to start with the left foot, and always stay...
