Band Competition (Legend) in Parker
Today Kirstyn had a huge marching band competition at Sports Authority Field in Parker. Were there all day feeding, setting up, taking down, performing Pit Crew duties, etc. They are sounding GREAT!
We felt bad for Kirstyn, though! That girl is really a go-getter and has such monster determination when she wants to! She went to the competition in her boot, then right before they marched, she wrapped up her ankle nice and tight, put on her marching shoe and went out there and nailed it! It hurt so bad during the performance, she had tears running down her cheeks, but you couldn’t even tell she was injured! Right after they finished, she put her boot back on, walked up for lunch, and then put ice on it. Poor kid!
For the finals performance, she did the same thing again! It was in a lot of pain when she got home, but we were really proud of her for pushing through this and not, in her words, “letting her band down” by just standing there in the front with her boot on. 🙂 Way to go Kirstyn!
