It's a Band thing!

Ooops...missed blogging that whole first month of school.  Sorry. 

Well, we're off and running - or marching should I say.  Dylan is in the Marcus High School Band - and loving it!  They are 2 games away from finishing the regular football season (marching season)  and they are also two competitions away from being done with the marching competition part of their school year too.  They have done SO well!  One show they placed 2nd, two shows they placed 1st.  They have also qualified to go to the state UIL competition.  So exciting!!!  Ron and I will be heading down to San Antonio for a day to watch that competition!  Exciting!  There are several other local high schools that made the state competition too and it's really interesting to see all the performances.  We're wishing everyone good luck!

By the way - Riley is playing saxophone in the middle school band and is sounding REALLY good!  I cannot wait to see his music career unfold!  (These boys make us really proud!)

Well, short and sweet...here's some pictures, of course!  :-)

Dylan in his "shadow" uniform - his "role" in the show with his brother Riley.

Dylan is 3rd from the right.  (they were capturing their Christmas card entire band photo)

A picture of the entire band at the end of the performance.  (they were trying to capture a shot for their Christmas card)

This is one of the final formations....LOVE when they march in lines toward us and play loudly!  Cool!!!



This is just before they move into formation to begin their show.  (I get a little choked up!  It's quite a show.  ALL of these kiddos should be SOOOOO proud!)
