Thanks for all the birthday wishes, friends.
Well, the band got 5th place in class A (biggest bands in the state) out of 10. There are three or so Indianapolis area teams that just dominate; in fact, the winner has 300 kids in it compared to our 205. A Fort Wayne team (Homestead) also produces a top five every year, so we we Southern Hoosiers were proud to break the top 5. We had a few rifle glitches, and one of my sons said something about the ending, but none of the parents noticed it. One of the neatest things for my husband and me was seeing both of our sons' faces on the big RCA Dome t.v.s that are used to show the closeups of the Colts. Both of our kids are in the pit (the area up front with the mirimbas and timpanis) so their faces were up there several times. It was cool. Take care, all.
