Last week the marching band had a "One More Time" concert for the parents since football season is officially over for us. The kids played in the high school gym, which was a unique experience for those of us watching. We've only heard them play as they've been spread across the football field. The sound was amazing when they were all grouped together in one room. They played every song they've played at some point during the season, even the ones they played back in August but retired from the show, and they did it all from memory. I think sound recordings of things like this always sound a bit off, but believe me, they are exceptional. The kids seemed to have a good time, and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to hear them one more time.
They will be marching in the Philadelphia ABC Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thanksgiving. It's the oldest parade in the nation. They had to apply and send in audition tapes to be considered. It is televised, so skip the Macy's parade and watch this one instead! They are going to New York City when they are done in the parade. The choir will be performing at some point there. They will be doing some site seeing and taking in a show, too. I will miss having Tyler with us for Thanksgiving, but I'm excited at the opportunity he has.
This started as a way to document the amusing antics of our 2 & 4 year old children several years ago. It has evolved into a great forum for keeping grandparents, friends, and other relatives involved in our daily lives. It is also a good place for me to share what is important in our lives, and to document those things I want to be sure I don't forget.

They sounded so good on the field. Can imagine how wonderful it was to hear them with the instruments all pointed the same direction.
