Bee had her last band concert of the year Friday, and as of friday morning found herself with a cork-less mute. The cork is important because it keeps the mute inside the bell of the horn.

Family to the rescue!  Frankie suggested cutting up a wine cork as a replacement.  Angie did the cutting, Scott used his super strength to get the hot glue gun working, and Bee glued the corks on.  Chocho and Chile were helpful in that they did not bark.  Here is the result:

It turns out that Bee needed her mute to perform a solo during the last song!  This song was Simple Gifts, and she wanted it to be a surprise. It was! Hopefully we’ll get a recording soon, and we’ll be sure to share it.
