My Drummer Boys

When we attend basketball games Geremu begs to bring his drum because he thinks he is part of the band. He usually stands in the balcony (behind the band) playing along on his Parenting Drum. Today he got the chance to join the band and play with the pregame pep band as well as the half-time bucket band. Here he is getting a little instruction before the game from his drummer friend.

Cullen also participated because the students bribed him with M&M's. Here he is taking his bucket to the half-time performance with his "buddy".

Both boys paired up with a student that helped them before and during their performances. The students were not assigned, they just sort of gravitated towards certain people.

Both boys paired up with people that they felt comfortable with. Their buddy's seemed to have the same energy level/personality as themselves so it worked out well.
Geremu would point at me and give the the "get lost" look when I would try and take pictures of him.
Here's a short video of Geremu, I never got a very good video/view of both boys playing. Take note of how Geremu starts to scold me when I try to get a better picture.
