Marching Band Competition #1

Well, the twins had their very first competition yesterday, and they did pretty well. They placed 5th after the initial march, and during the finals managed to move that up to 3rd. It seemed that the final rank was based on a combined score from the first and second march, so moving up 2 places was pretty good.

They got #1 for color guard, effects, and drum line. (None of which the twins are in, but they were still really excited)

Their day was really hectic, and tough. (10:30 am to 11:30 pm) They got to the first competition, marched, and loaded the bus and drove 1 1/2 hours to a second competition to march again! There had been a delay in the second competition though, so they had to leave before they got to compete to march in the finals of the first competition. Their bus pulled in with 20 minutes to spare before they were on the field. I'm sure all 20 minutes were spent unloading the bus and running to the field! It must have been difficult to juggle all of that in their brains and still pull out a great performance. There were about 25 bands in the competition, so 3rd was awesome.

Way to go girls!
