It’s Marching Season!

Marching Band Season, that is!

Yesterday was an invitational competition. Our band did a wonderful job and came in 7th place overall, one of their best finishes ever! They have an incredible program this year and I feel that they have a great chance of moving up in the rankings before the end of the season. Keep in mind, there are about 500 band members on the field during the performance, this is the largest marching band in the country. It takes 21 buses and 2 box trucks to move all the members, staff and equipment. Imagine 500 kids trying to be precise in every move they make!

The first picture is of the band in their warm up position. The second is after they’ve taken their starting position and the music is starting. My daughter is highlighted by the yellow arrow, her boyfriend is to her right.

This is so great! Thirty years ago, that was me and my friends. It’s cool to see that despite some of the other differences that have arisen in those 30 years, marching band looks the same! And congratulations to them for placing so well–I’ll be keeping an eye on your blog to watch them get even better!
