My Rock Star and Drummer Boy

This was Alex's third student fest and the first one for Carter.  

Student fest is a weekend long concert where the kids get to perform  just like a real rock star. 

 Alex and Carter were awesome!!!  

They both played Beetle songs.

Alex played "Come Together"   and Carter play "Yellow Submarine"

They Rocked it!!!!!!

When they announced Carter they paused and joked about whether

 or not anyone was really behind the drums. 

 You couldn't really see him.

See what I mean?

So, Carter stood up and waved his drum sticks in the air to prove he really was back there! 

 It was pretty cute.

But he was there, see!

And he was Awesome!

After each session they had a raffle drawing for prizes.
While this is our third year, it was our first year actually winning something and we won big!

First, Alex's number was selected for the guitar survival kit.  

It included a ukulele, a bag, a guitar tuner and a small portable amplifier.

  The boys had several tickets for the drawings as they participated and earned additional tickets for merchandise they purchased and for guest that they brought.   Each guest also got a ticket and Hallie won with her one measly ticket!  Score!  She won a small crash symbol that was valued over a hundred dollars!  She walked up, grabbed her prize and immediately handed it over to Carter. Sweet girl!  It worked out great as Carter needs nicer symbols.  Santa brought him decent drums, but he still could use better symbols and now we are off to a good start.

And we were incredibly surprised to win again, but Carter had to get in on a little prize action of his own.

Carter's number was selected for the Drum Grand Prize of the Session.

Here he is pictured with his drum teacher collecting his prizes.

He won a Kalani Drum, new sticks, a jam block, and a gift certificate valued at 150.00 for a customized drum head. He also got his picture taken for being one of the grand prize winners of the session which was sponsored by Cancun Cafe.  I should probably add that there were plenty of people there and they only had 7 or 8 winners and we had three of our tickets pulled. 

We quickly left and headed to Idaho to purchase lottery tickets.

Just kidding!

Of course, I had to take a picture documenting all their winnings!

It was a great day at the track, I mean student fest!

Carter took his drum to his lessons and has already learned to play a popular beat.

And of course there is video of the Student Fest too.

Enjoy!
