Dear Cole--
Congratulations on being accepted into the blue band!  I know I didn't tell you enough how I could hear the improvement in your audition from day-to-day, but it was there.  Every frustrating missed note led to an improvement that sounded better the next day.  Your effort shown through and I hope that you can see that when you put your mind to it, nothing can stop you.  We can't wait to hear what you and your friends play for us in your concerts later this year.

Love,
Dad
