So, Chris is a euphonium player. He is really good at it. There is a big competition every year that he goes to, the Falcone Festival. It's a big deal for euphonium players. Most of the rest of the world doesn't know euphoniums exist, let alone the Falcone Festival, but for the small group of us who know what it is, it's a big deal. Anyway, so Chris goes to this competition every year, and spends a weekend up in Michigan with no cell service. And a few years ago he placed second. Then he placed third. This year, he came home victorious.
High fives all around! I am so proud of him.
