The middle school advanced (7th and 8th graders) band had the opportunity to play at a football game last Friday night with the high school band. The middle school band was to observe how the HS marched. Sadie's teacher recommended the students have a lyre for their instruments. Isn't this a clever idea that Nathan came up with? Sadie didn't think it was all that great especially if she had to wear it.
Sadie enjoyed playing with the high school. They had a long afternoon and evening though. It started at 4:30 for practice, had dinner together, then the game started at 7 and ended after two overtimes at 10:30ish. Then once the game was over it is traditon for the HS band to get in a circle and play a few more songs together. I think their band has lots of fun and they sound good.
Nathan and I attended the football ball game so we could listen to the band. One thing about band is that it is hard to hear any particular instrument especially the clarinet in the crowd you would like to hear. It has been a long long time since we attended a football game and brought back memories of watching my brothers play. Nathan's parents were visiting so they had the boys while we enjoyed being together at the game. It was a long game and would have been more interesting if we could have known any of the players.
