Here are the buses on the way. It turned out to be a beautiful day!!
Here is the football field; the artificial turf is made out of old tires!
Getting ready to enter the stadium.
At the beginning of our show.
This was a band from Odessa MO (bet you didn't know there was an Odessa, MO!!). Their show featured these big screens depicting pictures from different eras in America and was titled "American Expressions". I especially liked them because their songs were based on hymns. I thought they did very well, but only placed 3rd in their division.
This is the band from Willard, MO. They have always been known for their great performances, and have been the 'band to beat' for a few years now. They have around 250 members. This young lady in the middle of the picture goes to our church; she always has a smile and a sweet disposition.
This was the exhibition show put on by the University's band; the "Marching Mules". They even had a twirler.
At the end of their performance, the trombone section did a little routine; check out the guy in the back row...yes, that's his HAIR standing up!!!
Our band did not place, so we didn't make it to finals. But it's been a good year, and I think Chris has enjoyed his last year in marching band. Now they focus on District/State Honor band tryouts, and then just good old concert band at the school. No more football games, band competitions , sitting on hard bleachers, getting sun/wind burned, or trying to stay warm and dry while watching them play. Yeah, I'm going to miss it.
