I had the pleasure of watching my twins Dylan and Niamh play the steel pans (you might know them as steel drums) in their school's summer concert this evening. They have only been learning for 10 weeks, but they have come on enormously. You can see them playing in the Soapbox video below.
(BTW, I misheard the name of the second song and captioned it wrong in the video; it should be "Janey Girl". I didn't notice until after the edits had finished processing, and I didn't want to wait while it encoded it again!)
At the end of the concert, the head teacher came on stage to thank all the staff. He thanked the recorder teacher, adding that she had also helped out the brass teacher this term; trumpets and tenor horns and the like. She acted very modestly as if she had done nothing special, and then tried to validate her coyness by shouting out to the audience "I'm very good at fingering, I just can't blow".
I thought my head would explode from the pressure of keeping the laughter inside!
