My son's first performance (Squier vm jag content)

[dukey donkey]

Just wanted to take a moment to brag on my son he's number 2 of 4 and he's 13... He just started playing bass in September at the request of his band teacher to join the Jazz Band. I think he's doing it phenomenal job considering that he started last year on tuba and in three months was making all regional and first chair and he ended up with an award for sight reading last year... I watched his first performance with the Jazz Band about 2 days ago and I'm speechless. Well about the Squier... That's my bass that he's playing with the band... I think I'm going to make it his.

What's with the idiots trying to loudly talk over the band?

I started playing bass right around the same time your son did, and, by way of the tuba as well. Just don't let him major in music performance!!

Hi Mr. @dukey donkey,

Very nice! Yes, I would be proud too. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Congrats! You should be proud. One of my proudest moments was seeing my son play bass in his HS band.

It's totally an unexpected achievement...he was always the sports inclined one...so very glad he's not a jock...

Awesome! And - Band Kids are the BEST!!! It sounds crazy - but if I could go back in time I’d forgo this engineering career and be a HS band director.

Congrats to the proud dad!! He turned in a solid performance. Steady rhythm. He has a bright future ahead of him.

He obviously has both the talent and the interest. I'm glad he enjoys it.

Same here. That was back in the pre Mesozoic era as I'm 60 now. Thanks for the video, brings back a lot of great memories

It's a real achievement, but you can forget grandchildren...

Very cool video. Glad to see you're passing the music down the line.

Great to see younger people being creative!
So "Santa"; is there a bass amp or something coming his way on Christmas?

Maybe take him to a music store and try out the amps..... (hint hint)

Awesome!
My daughter started on a red Jag SS. 4 years later she’s playing upright.
