I guess even when they're 13 & 14 they're still experiencing firsts. This week was the first volleyball game as a school player, and the first high school marching band performance. Although they're different than the firsts they had when they were little, these firsts made me a little weepy, too.
On Wednesday Danielle's team had their first volleyball game. The competition was not good so there weren't a lot of good volleys or chances to make great plays, but she had fun. She got a good amount of playing time and got to serve. There are 12 girls on the team, which is quite a few, so she was excited to get so much time. Between rec and club, she has played in several volleyball games over several years, but there was something extra special about putting on that jersey and representing our school. She has 2 games this coming week.
Last night was our first high school football game. Our band director graduated from The Ohio State University and tries to run his band similarly to theirs - high step, lots of energy, running, etc. And no compromising on the uniform regardless of the extremely uncomfortable temperatures! It was really neat to watch Tyler run out there and do all the special steps and moves. He's improved so much just since we saw him perform a couple weeks ago for the parents! He had a lot of fun on the bus and playing in the stands, too. I think he enjoyed the whole experience. We were the away team this week, so we didn't get to see their faces much during the performance. I'll try to get more pictures next week during our home game.
