Another Saturday, another band competition. This time it was in Gibson County, TN - about three hours from Spring Hill. We originally were not planning on going to the competition because of the distance and Steve's commitment to set-up for church on Sunday morning, but after talking about it Saturday morning we decided to go. The kids put in so much time, effort and hard work into each show that we needed to be there to support them. Thankfully it was a gorgeous fall day and traveling to Gibson County was enjoyable. We thought competition had been going on all day, but when we got there we noticed the sign and realized the competition didn't start until 4:00 p.m. Since we arrived at 3:45, we were able to see all bands perform. Our band performed at 7;30 and did a great job. Our band walked away with 3rd place overall, first place in our division for drumline and guard and pit crew!
By the time awards were over, it was after 10:00 so we knew we'd be getting home late. Steve, Jenna and I got home about 1;15 a.m. and Seth got home about 2:15 a.m. (They had to stay for critiques so were not able to leave immediately after awards.) We all got caught up on sleep on Sunday afternoon.
