Trumpets (Gavin and Taliyah no instrument)

 * What we did**
 * Assessed Performance Targets for Line 16
 * Developed Performance Targets for line 17


 * What to do**
 * Meet performance targets for line 16 and 17


 * Looking Ahead**
 * Meet Performance Goals on line 23, 25 and begin "Let's Go Band" and other All-City Music


 * Notes**
 * I am very concerned with the slow progress of this group. It has to do with a great lack of preparation.
 * Is this correlated to their academics?
