In the middle of rehearsal, our performance drum group leader discovered that she had forgotten her train whistle. “I have one!” pipes up Donna, and she pulls one out of her purse! It was like watching a champion competitor on “Let’s Make a Deal”! Who knew what Monte would ask for next, but I had a feeling that Donna would be ready.
The group declared “Always bring your train whistle”, which sounded like a Lesson to me. Do you even have one? Why not?
Jane's Lessons Learned 
First you have to tell us what a train whistle is! No, I don’t think I would carry one with me.
Ahh the train whistle ! It was a very important part of the Pre-school band experiance. Both my children played it with pride. We used to have one of our very own. I think we lost it two houses ago…
