It hasn't been easy: hours of practices in 90+ degree heat, sore shoulders from marching with a Sousaphone for the first time, battling dehydration and fatigue, memorizing music, trying to figure out all the drills after missing almost all of band camp while we were on vacation. Still, Seth did great and we had a fantastic time watching his first marching band performance at Band-O-Rama this past Friday night.
Auburn High's band did a field show featuring Beatles hits. A lot of other area bands came to march, and we were treated to a couple of performances by Auburn University's band as well.
Some of the schools were really small but you could tell that everyone--large and small school alike--had put in a lot of hard work. Seeing some of the local small town bands took me back to the good old days marching with our little high school band in Ohio. Good times.
There he is in the middle--the tall skinny one.
And again on the left in the back with the dark blue shorts.
It was so fun to see him play. I thought he did great despite missing all those practices.
I'm looking forward to a great marching band season this year. And many more.
