Go Guard....and band.

So Marching band competitions are finally upon us. This month I'm going to a little short on posts because i'll have my mind on other things.

Check out our trohpies

We'll i have some good news. Timpanogos Color Guard (the team i teach) took the caption at the Nebo competition last Saturday (yes general conference. I have not watched a full general conference in years. I have a marching band competition on the fall sessions and i have the winter guard championships on the weekend of the spring sessions. I do TiVo the sessions but since i've had Audrey it's hard to watch them after. She won't let me sit and pay attention to the T.V for such a long period of time. but it's okay i like reading it more anyway i always get more out of the talk when i read it. So i am anxious for the November Ensign general conference issue. But it is sad when at church people ask if i caught so and so's talk and i have to say I didn't. I always feel like a heathen) and the band took first place in our division and took home the outstanding musical performance caption. ( FYI there are 5 divisions in marching band 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A. now some people think that what division you are in is dependent on how large the school is like in football, and basketball and other sports. but it's not it is totally dependent on how large the band is. Our band has 27 students [sad] and so we are in the 1A division the smallest there is.)

Yeah Guard

And yesterday the guard again took the caption in our division and the band took 2nd. Now the interesting thing is that the guard's score beat those that were in the 2A division. It was a pretty cool moment when i found that out. But I'm assuming it was a fluke incident and that they won't let that happen again on Saturday. But it is pretty cool for the next few days.

They all look so happy.
That is the entire band (FYI) minus like 4 or 6 people.

Love,
Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey
