S's band!

Yeah, the kids are so savvy these days.
10 years old, just sticking their heads out of their little egg shells and these birds already know how to fly!

So they are not so little anymore, yeah. But 10-11 year old boys forming a band was kinda cool for me. And it mainly came from them. Maybe Clinton sir telling them that one day they can form their own band had something to do with. It did happen sooner than anyone expected.

What really is kind of nice is that the band is not just some flaky time pass that these kids are into. They practice oh! so seriously. "Its band practice time!" seems to get everyone in their group dropping everything and running for practice at Vinu's house. We being next door, can hear the boys belt it out for a good 45 minutes. They have "deep" discussions on which song to pick up next and make it as part of the band's standard repertoire. Wow, all by themselves too!

S is the chords and eventually lead guitarist of the band. I have seen him play and he puts his heart into it on stage. Yeah, did I just say on stage? The kids have already performed a cool 4 times at various local functions, and they have been received fairly well. Their "Smoke on the Water" is the best piece I like so far.
And here are the "Black Vipers"...er... "Blue Daggers"... er...ok, whatever is the (new preferred color + weapon of choice) name of the band at the time. Forgive the unprofessional collage!

Well, we surely were not so cool in our days!
