State Music Festival

I couldn't be any more prouder of these students. The following are photos that received a SUPERIOR rating at district music festival.
This is Duel. He played a solo on his french horn entitled "Melodie Importune" and i accompanied him on piano. He played his solo at state festival and did a fine job.
This is the brass ensemble that played a cool piece entitled "Sourwood Mountain". It's an old American folk tune, this particular arrangement varied the melody and rhythm in several sections. They played today at State festival, as well.


We won't know the results from the judges for a couple days. Nonetheless, it doesn't matter what the state judges gave them, they worked hard, played their hearts out and enjoyed themselves!

We got to the motel in Billings last night, had a yummy dinner at Applebees, went shopping at the mall (yes, i got a couple of cool tops), headed back to the motel for the pool side fun, to bed, then played at 8 this morning. 3 of these students were immediately bussed to the metra center for their track and field competition, one went to the baseball field for his game, and to rode home on the bus. I made them play TROUBLE with me. I won.

Actually, when you look at what they accomplished, we all won.

Thanks husband for chaperoning.

Thanks band kids for going that extra mile.

Now, THAT'S a Naughty TT!

He's a Handsome, Man's Cat!
