Well it was a very very long Saturday for us all. I had three big performances in the day. First we did the parade in Luverne at the Tri-State Band Festival, followed by the field competition there and finishing out the day with an evening performance at the Big Sioux Review in Brandon. My band once again did a great job. In Luverne they placed 3rd in parade (same place as 2007) and 2nd in field (up from 4th last year!). This was great for our first competition of the season. In the evening we traveled to Brandon and the band performed a wonderful show, placing 1st and taking Best Winds, Best Guard, Best Drum Majors and Best Drum Line!! This is the first time that Lennox has taken 1st place and swept all the caption awards! Great job band!
Chels actually spent the day with Heidi in Luverne and Brandon at the competition. She just couldn't stay away from marching band this fall, she has really come to love it. Thankfully she didn't have to sit at both competitions all day and do all the walking that I had to do. She did get to see the band which made her happy. At the end of the day she was just beat and swollen, this may be the last competition she makes it to depending on when Kosmo makes his appearance.
We both were able to see some of our friends from Madison at both competitions. It was great to see them all and chat with them for a little bit. It was also fun for me to see so many of my former students and get the chance to talk to them as well.
This week doesn't get any easier for me, it is homecoming week so we have a lot of stuff going on at school. It is also Festival of Bands week so we'll be off competing again next weekend. Hopefully the weather is great and the baby doesn't come at a time when I can't get away.
