Sometime last spring (it's taken me this long to figure out how to post a video), Jacob had a band solo competition.  He did really well.  He received a score of I+; I'm not sure if that is better than just I, or if it is between I and II.  Here is a video of it. Beware: even though I said he did really well, he is only in 6th grade, so you might want your volume turned down.
