A glimpse of what the future holds....

Many of you that know Xander is in a band, if you don't by now AND you are reading the blogs daily, then you must for sure live under a rock, lol! Anyway, the boys are getting ready to embark on a whole new adventure. Starting next week, they are going to have a band manager of sorts) coming to the house for 1 hour of their 2 hour practices to teach them, guide them and help them to really turn their work into something performance ready. He is a world class musician, plays multiple instruments and has the credentials to really push the boys along. We are all very excited and look forward to how he can help the band.

They were working on some new music that Xander has been writing last night in our garage (where they always practice) - sorry the lighting isn't so great! You can check out their stuff on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/user/schecboy. They actually have some REALLY GOOD covers down of Smells Like Teen Spirit from Nirvana, Live and Let Die by Paul McCartney and a few others, we'll try to post those soon. This week, they were just jamming on a few ideas, these are in no way finished works but a really good start.

As a sidenote I should also explain that these are really talented musician kids and we are not "pushing" them into the business. We are working within their parameters and abilities and helping them to pursue a passion that they all share. Xander has played publicly in front of live audiences in solo gigs so he is more experienced than the others however they are all just starting on this journey. As parents, we are all here collectively, to help them pursue this dream. Xander wants to get a degree in music so we are trying to help him channel that creative energy. I have been told that we "push" our children and that is simply the farthest thing from the truth, it actually works in reverse where we try to hold him back however he pushes us to be the person he was meant to be. That is the same for all the boys in this band. They are talented, creative, funny, witty, wise beyound their years and all students at the tops of their class.

So having said that, enjoy....there is plenty more to come from these boys and we will proudly share it here!

Lots of love,
K&B
