Yesterday we mentioned that Hampton might become a drummer. Well, at The Hangout Music Fest this weekend, he really showed off his talents! We took him there to watch a favorite band of his (and ours), and after that concert, we headed over to the kids stage. They were busy setting up for the next band, but there was a circle of musicians & non-musicians playing drums and various percussion instruments. It was a blast...the director would lead the group, pointing to different areas for different things. Even though there were lots of people who really didn't know what they were doing, it sounded awesome.
Anyway, of course Hampton wanted to get in on the action. Once a drum freed up, he got to going on the bongo. Then, he got really inspired. He at first just stood up to dance while drumming, but then the director encouraged him to "feel the beat". Long story short...Hampton ended up leading the drum circle. He was leading everyone by playing a cow bell. There were people cheering him and taking pictures...it was hilarious! Honestly, the music festival was lots of fun, but nothing can top seeing that. It's one of those things we hope to remember forever!
