And Marching Band, too!

Marching Band season has come and gone already!  It ended up on a pretty good note, with the Pride of SF receiving a Division II rating (just a couple of points shy of a I!) at State contest!  They played the music from Wicked.  Great job band!

 

 

Love it when I can get 2 in one picture!!!

This was Friday night after running the game ball from Sumner to the ‘burg.  For the school song and National Anthem, they just wore their XC uniforms.  Then, they went to shower and change in to marching band uniform.

except the Seniors…they got to be “cool”.

Sorry for the blurry, fuzzy pictures.  It’s hard to get good pictures at night in a football stadium :)

Our band ROCKS!

Football Fans!

We cheer the Iowa Hawkeyes on for every game, but they aren’t the ONLY team around here (contrary to what some may think :-)  The S-F Green team plays almost every Sunday, and Ethan is having a very successful season!  They’ve only lost one game!  Woo HOO! 

Football photography is a bit tougher than cross country, LOL.  I never quite know where to focus the camera!  Here are a few shots of the season.  Ethan is #60!

Great job, SF Green team!  I’m proud of you, Ethan!  It’s been fun to watch you play football!

Cross Country Season

Wow…Rachel’s cross country season is OVER, and Cameron most likely has just one more cross country race in his high school career. I SO love watching my kids run!  They’ve really made me proud this year (well, every year, of course)!

RACHEL

don’t know HOW she can smile after running like that!

see Ronnie and Ethan there cheering her on?

GREAT JOB RACHEL!!

CAMERON

 

Yes.  I know.  He needs a haircut!

sprinting to the finish…

I’m PROUD of you guys!

OK…Ummm…

that jazz band thing was WAY last winter.  I have no idea while it just now posted.  I’m REALLY confused…LOL  Maybe it published itself to remind me to post something newer than AUGUST!

High School 2A Jazz Band Festival

Saturday morning found most of us up and moving before we REALLY wanted to, for a trip to our high school for State Jazz Band festival.  Our kids performed at 9:20.  They were GREAT!  They have missed SO many practices due to bad weather…so for the amount of time they had to practice, I was quite impressed!

Rachel, Katelyn, Cameron and Karly…the back row kept things together!  :-)

Rachel, Katelyn and Cameron

Rachel and Katelyn play their improv duet…may were they GOOD!!!

Cameron and one of his solos.  You rock, Cameron!

Cameron’s solo…he only practiced a couple of days due to his early morning class…but he did AWESOME!

Cameron and one of his best friends, Justin.  Oh, the things those two think of…in fact…right now…I think they are thinking…”OK, when we are done here, let’s go to Justin’s house and make mashed potatoes with chocolate milk!”  ‘cause that is what they did later that day. They made instant potatoes, and used chocolate milk instead of the milk AND the water!!   Ewwwwwwwwww!!!!

Julie and I don’t even ASK them what they are doing any more!

Thanks for playing in the band, guys.  We really enjoyed hearing you play!
