Titanium Girl started the band year off with 3rd chair and worked really hard for her second quarter playing test heading into November. She got word while in the hospital that she’d made 1st chair, a somewhat bittersweet accomplishment given she wouldn’t be able to play as 1st chair (or at all) for the winter concert. After 2 months off school, getting new music only recently, she practiced the heck out of the piece they were to play for the next playing test. Then she wound up back in the hospital the days they were supposed to be testing. We honestly weren’t sure how she’d do, given everything leading up to this point, but today, they had her do her test and she made 2nd chair, only a half point off from 1st. Could not be more pleased at the accomplishment and work she put into it.

We're fairly private people; our identities aren't important, but the story is. Many schools no longer screen for scoliosis, and some doctors don't because they think the schools still do. Because of this, scoliosis isn't on most people's radars. We encourage parents to learn the signs of scoliosis and to check their children as they grow so hopefully any issues can be found early when treatment is easier and more likely to be successful.
