Marching band Season Begins Tonight

Seth is marching in his first halftime show tonight as a trumpet player for the Independence High School Eagles marching band!! It's an away football game and he doesn't know we're going.....I hope he's surprised. Since it's an away football game I'm not sure what kind of pictures I'll be able to get, but I'll try to get a few to post tomorrow. I can't wait to hear what he thinks of the whole experience of staying after school, eating dinner at the school, loading up the semi (yes - they travel with a semi for equipment!), the experience of marching, etc. (Yes - I'm reliving my band geek days thru him!)

It's been over 30 years since I marched with the Shenango High School Wildcat marching band. I told Seth that I don't think I played one note for either pre-game or the halftime show for my first game. I hadn't had time to get my uniform pants altered and I was afraid they were going to fall off out on the 50 yard line! Thankfully for everyone in attendance that night.....they didn't.
