Last week was Kai’s very last concert playing a clarinet in the Dhahran Wildcat Band. I think playing a instrument through middle school has been good for him but I know that he is excited to put it behind him.
This is a more candid shot I got when he thought I wasn't looking.
Kai doesn't like to be told to smile. When forced he follows the letter of the request more so than the spirit.
It was easier to get pictures when he was in the "staging" area - there were several bands that played during the evening.
The gym crowds up fast and the band is big. This was one of my best shots of Kai while he was performing.
What can I say, Kai has a great smile!
