The kids got lots of grins and applause for playing &#8220;The Office&#8221; theme song.<\/p>\n<p>Ben is already a stellar guitar player and decided to take on the challenge of learning the electric bass guitar for Jazz Band.

He played great last night and fit right in with the rest of the musicians after just 2 months!<\/p>\n<p>Love the clothes, too.
