Marching Band

posted in family, kids |

My daughter just completed her 3rd week of marching band. They spent the first 2 weeks practicing 8-3, five days a week. The second week switched up and the practiced 4-8 in the evenings. The culmination of their hard work came on Saturday when they did a “March-a-thon”, marching 10 miles through the streets of town as a fundraiser. The day was extremely hot, 104, but they got a little reprieve when they marched through the inside of Lowes and followed that by marching through Tom Thumb grocery. The town came out to support them and I’m very proud of my daughter for completing the full 10 miles. She honestly had a great time!

    Ten miles is very impressive, let alone doing it while playing her instrument. Well done!

    Happy Marching Season! We have our first football game on Friday and it is not supposed to rain. Hooray! Last year, it rained for every stinking home game. Ugh.

    Ten miles of marching for the band, that sounds like an awful lot. I’d be proud of her too.

    Good thing she got to wear shorts and short sleeves instead of a heavy band uniform!

    WOW! She did a great job. I hope there was a lot of water around. 104 degrees is brutal. And then walking and playing at the same time is amazing. You have a very amazing young lady there.

    This brings back memories of when I was in Marching Band back in my high school days. I loved performing at fields shows!
