I wish I had a picture with all the Color Guard (that holds the flags) and the Dance Line (wearing their white gloves and dancing around their white stool) and the band when they are standing in their diamond formation….it is pretty awesome.

It is so great to see the kids rewarded for all the hard work they do.  Marching Band is not for sissys.  You have to not only be a muscian, but a performer as well.  The band is supposed to sound really amazing as they play their instruments, and also entertain you as they cover the field with color and sound. 

And the kids work at memorizing their parts and perfecting their sound every day in class, and then they work three afternoons a week at learning to be better performers and march in lines, arches and diamonds.

These kids are dedicated and love what they do.  The sad thing to me is that some of the parents of these kids will never come out to watch them perform.  They will never attend a single football game or buy a ticket to a festival and or even watch the video on youtube.  They have no idea what they are missing!
