I hoped that my kids would inherit their Dad's musical talent instead of my tin ear and so far, they appear to have done so. They take piano lessons and pick up technique and songs quickly, so we have lots of music in the house. My youngest declared at the age of two the desire to play the trumpet (just like Daddy!) and was able -- from the first time picking it up -- to actually blow correctly and sustain true notes. We saw a touring company of this show -- Blast -- and I think that's where the idea to play the trumpet came from...it's electrifying to see live.

I'm also a big fan of this segment of the show, the Drumline Battery Battle.
