May 30, Memorial Day, is the US federal holiday. It was also my first holiday when I arrived here on May 23, 2021. Time flies when you are making the efforts and focusing on something.
Alice learned to play clarinet in Taiwan and has joined the band at McCarthy Towne elementary since his first school semester. I also found that playing instruments in the school band here means enjoying the music. If you plan to play professionally, it would be another story.

Anyway, Alice memorized the song of March Grandioso and played it with the band on Memorial day. Many families prepared folding or lawn chairs along the Main street to celebrate this event.
It is a local event, but you can feel the joyful atmosphere and everyone involved in the participation. We are proud of Alice for fitting in the new American life happily and making new friends everywhere.
