Josh went on a field trip to the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) where the students saw a variety of instruments. Josh loved the museum and would love to go back again some time. When looking through the photos that the students took, I saw a picture of Josh with an upright bass - a BIG bass. I remember my senior year in high school when I played the upright bass for Dixieland Band, which was held after school. It was a great experience for me to learn to play the bass. I used one at school and took one home to practice - which I can honestly say that I didn't do that much. I wasn't quite as tall as Josh so it was funny to see me play such a big instrument. I'm sad to say that I don't have any pictures to prove that I played the bass, but I did find a certificate when I played the bass in a community musical called "Brigadoon". It doesn't actually say that I played the bass, but you'll just have to trust me. Because the bass was such a big instrument, I had to sit alone during the performances, hence the "Most Isolated Player" award.
