Garage Band . . . in our Living Room?

Jonah and two of his friends, Bradley and Sydney, have started a band.  Their goal is to play for the school talent show at the end of the school year.  When they first began talking about this, their plan was to get together on weekends to practice in Sydney's garage . . . hence the "garage band" in the title.

Somehow, they ended up practicing in our living room.  This afternoon.




Ken and I had a little glimpse of what our futures holds as our living room was taken over by not three but 5 teens and preteens, each of them armed with at least one electronic device.  There were multiple texts, calls, and general adolescent energy amidst the sounds of drum-, piano-, and saxophone playing.





I have a sneaking suspicion this will be a recurring event as they need a LOT of practice before they are performance-ready.
