Autumn Leaves 2020 Bass Clarinet Solo performed by Nicholas Jenkins, accompanied by his mother, me!

My 18 year old son, Nicholas Jenkins, performed Autumn Leaves for his senior solo competition and earned an Exemplary Rating which is 1st place at the District Level.

This was our last performance together. Nicholas very unexpectedly died only 9 days later on March b16, 2020. He earned an exemplary rating that at this district competition, which is the highest rating you can earn. He was so excited about going to compete at the state level. We never got to have that performance. Playing music with Nicholas was one of my greatest joys. We were so connected. I miss him so very much. Being his mom was the greatest joy of my life. It was the best thing I ever did. He's my whole heart.
