Tonight was the first varsity football game at Metea’s stadium!  Brittany and Sarah were VERY excited to perform in marching band as well!  Angela went up early to help with the band uniforms, and I helped out during halftime in our first attempt at being the “pit crew.”  It was a lot of fun and being down on the field was cool.  The band really looks GREAT this year!  It is nice to see that they have grown in size!

Brittany is loving doing percussion and she also (as you can see above) holds the Illinois flag during the pre-game show.  Sarah is ecstatic to be a marching leader again this year and sounds great!

The team ended up losing which was sad (due to a VERY bad call), but they, as a team with no seniors, almost beat a full team with seniors playing!  Regardless of how they do, they’ll have a great year with a LOT of learning experiences!
