The girls and I came up with a plan. We spoke to the band membership coordinator telling of Bill's love of the band, and of his desire to some day play with them. She was happy to help us make being a band member a reality for Bill.
We researched clarinets, and chose this beautiful clarinet from Suzuki Instruments. We also asked Tess's flute teacher, if she could take Bill on as a student. She agreed. The plan was taking form....
