As many of you know, Jessica & Ryan are both involved in the Liberty High School "Pride of the Lancers" Marching band. Jessica is the captain of the colorguard and Ryan plays the Tuba. They got a new band leader and this band has been accomplishing miracles. Last year they weren't very good at all. They didn't really place at all. We took a trip to Grand Junction and competed there. We ended up taking 1st place in that competition for our field show! Our drum line also took 1st place! Their goal this year was to make it to the Quarter Finals! They went from 9th place in the Southern regional competition to 4th place. That gave them a spot in the Quarter finals. They performed in the Quarter Finals today and placed 2nd. WOW...what an amazing performance. If anyone wants to see it, I uploaded the video on YouTube...

They have EXCEEDED their goal of just making it to Quarter Finals! Tomorrow they will participate in the Semi-finals! It is hard to believe that they actually have a chance of making it to State! It is hard to figure out which child to watch...you all better get used to me talking about band...I will have children in the marching band for YEARS to come.
YAY! Look at you being the big bad blogging mom! LOVE IT!
