March is phoneography month at WordPress and the Weekly Photo Challenge: Future Tense asks for images showing the both the present and a hint of the future in one frame. I thought about going outside to take a new picture of the early signs of spring but when I saw freezing temperatures and falling snow I decided to stay indoors and choose something from my phone’s camera roll.
Every spring our local elementary schools bring their 6th grade band students together for one big concert. This is the first time these kids have performed with anyone outside of their small classrooms and the band directors purposefully set the seating chart so they get to meet kids from all over the district. Here is Ryan and his trumpet surrounded by new friends and future members of next years middle school band.

I absolutely adore seeing the next generation involved in the arts.

Talking about trumpets, I love the trumpet solo that suddenly peeps out at the end of this reggae song, because it adds an unexpected and delightful jazz touch to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zOwPBykLOE.
