Marching Band Day and Temple Night
Today was a pretty busy day! This morning, we had a Marching Band parent meeting. After that, we were supposed to have the parent “fundies” drills and parent preview out on the football field. Unfortunately, while we were in the parent meeting, a huge thunderstorm hit, making going outside impossible. So, the kids stood on the stage in the auditorium and performed their show. I helped with the pit, although it was kind-of crazy to set up everything in such a small place. Unlike the marching band the first year where there were about 50 people, they are now up around 115!
This year, they are doing an Elvis Show. It sounded really great! The kids have been working really hard! They were all pretty bummed that they didn’t get to go outside and perform! 🙁 Oh well, we have the first home game coming up in a couple of weeks and we’ll be able to see it then! Plus, it’s pretty embarrassing for all of us parents to do the “fundies” work. 🙂
Tonight, Angela and I went to the temple as part of a Stake Patron Day. We did some more names of Tracy Raketic’s ancestors. Her great grandparents are now complete and we’re ready to do some more! 🙂 Doing names of people that we are familiar with makes the experience much more special.
