Music is Just Not His Thing

Just a few short years ago Evan lived for the annual pre-school spring show. He danced, clapped and sang louder than any of the others. 

Not too long after his stellar performance as a fish, he had the leading role in the second grade musical as Ferb from Phinneus and Ferb and loved it. I mean, look at that smile.

For some reason, though, school music programs don't hold the same level of allure anymore. In fact, when you are eleven, they are considered the very worst of punishments. 

There were no smiles, no clapping, and just the movement of the mouth to indicate a hint of participation in tonight's performance. 

Please tell me there is an opt-out option for music in middle school.
