October

First snow ofthe season!  Tessa and Caylie being seeing in it.

Caylie and me at her parent/teacher conferences, Global Village Academy Douglas County.

Justin in his band tux.

The marching band got new uniforms! 
(They only wear their fancy hats in the show, though. 
Scroll on down!)

Justin and his friend Benjamin.  

They've known each other since kindergarten.  Benjamin's mom Sarah was their teacher in 1st grade, and I was their teacher in 2nd and 3rd at Meadowood Christian School.  Now they're all grown up in high school.

Marching band low brass!

Samuel turned 15!

Birthday dinner at MOD Pizza.

And home for birthday homemade cheesecake!

Justin's Band Performances, Fall 2018

I'm wayyy behind in blogging, but this will have to do for now, till I get caught up!  Justin has been busy with band this fall, and I want to share his performances.

These first two are from his Jazz Band concert, October 6.  Last year he was in Jazz 1, and has worked up to the next level, Jazz 2.  This group is amazing!  I'm missing the piece in which he had a solo, as my phone stopped recording in the middle of that one.  (Sigh.)  I'm waiting to get a recording from another band mom, which hopefully will come soon!

The Art of the Matter 

The Incredibles

The next three are from his Wind Ensemble concert, October 9.  Last year he was in the beginning Concert Band, and has moved up two levels to Wind Ensemble.  This group is amazingly talented, as well!

And here is the amazing Raptor Regiment Marching Band, doing a halftime show at last week's football game in their new uniforms!  This 172-member band works so hard all summer and fall.  Enjoy!
