One of my proudest moments as a parent was when I went to the town’s big Easter parade and saw my son in the high school’s marching band. He was playing one of the snare drums, and the band was playing the song “Seventy Six Trombones” from the musical “Music Man.” Although it has been probably over twenty years since I saw the movie, that is a song that I frequently sing to myself, so I was really pleased that the marching band was playing that tune as they marched past me. And even better was the fact that my son’s eyes met mine, so he could see how proud I was to see him in the parade. That was a good day.
