Marching Season has Begun!

What's the best thing about fall?? No, not football.  ITS MARCHING BAND SEASON!!!  From September to November we are CRAZY busy with marching competitions EVERY weekend.  Hubby James works for the Meade County High School Marching Band as a staff member. He works with the low brass players and also helps with marching and anything else where his expertise is needed.  He's pretty good with technology so he helps with the sound system as well.   (Fun Fact:  he and I are both alumni!)  Ryan is a senior in the band, so this is his FINAL season!!!

Two seasons ago, before Bubby, I chaperoned every trip and had a blast!!!  Now that little man is here, we go cheer on Ryan and Daddy from the stands! ( I can't leave my Bubby for that long! lol)  I might chaperone some of the closer competitions this year since its Ryan's SENIOR YEAR.  We'll see!  Here are some pics of our day!


Enjoying a snack in the stands :)

So each school has exactly 15 minutes to get on and off the field.  Not one second more.  In this pic, the band is getting ready for the march on while the pit crew (parent volunteers and staff) drive on and unload as quickly as possible!


Daddy!!! What are you doing over there??




See the rainbow that came out??


The pit performing.


Bubby thought the band was pretty awesome! Although, the highlight of the performance was seeing daddy on the other side of the fence.
