The Kennedy Elementary School band(樂隊) is special.That's because Tony Boland,a member of it,is a 79-year-old flute(長笛) player.His story tells us that you're never too old to toot the flute.

After working at the school for more than ten years,Tony joined the fifth graders in the band.His grandchildren were at the school.He helps children with their reading.

He started tooting the flute many years ago,when his wife tried to throw away (扔掉) their daughter's flute.

“You will play better if you play with others,” he told a reporter.

Brian Enabnit thought Tony would make a difference to the band.

“He's great.He's helping the students around him,” Enabnit said.

Tony practises with the students once a week and performs with them.They played at the Dubuque Community School District's Band Festival earlier this month.

Fifth-grade student Courtney Less thought her older classmate was successful.

“He's an excellent player,” Courtney said.“All of us are afraid when giving a performance,but he isn't.”
