Band did not make Grand National finals

Welll my grandson's band didn't win finals but hey did come in 14th out of 34 bands in the Grand National finals.Some of the bands did some dramtic non marching things, so they are turning this competition into a thing like Dancing with the stars. One member was elevated from a bed in the middle of the field. What ever happened to marching and formations???????

                                                        I am so proud of what they did do. It started out with over 300 bands from the US and they finished 14th,short of the 12th they needed to make it to finals. But they won State and semi finals and made it to finals. They did do some crying but all is well again and they will just try harder for next year. Gotta love that smile. Love and hugs

My grandchildren

My grandson Jacob is in the Grand National band cometition in Indianapolis and they have won in the semi finals and tomorrow will be the finals. They are fixing to do their routine as I type this. He is a little doll as far as I concerned and as a grandma, I have that right.

                                                  This is Theresa, my granddaughter and she is the love of my life. She is the sweetest and most polite child I have ever known. She even told her dad it was rude to be on the computer when people are visiting, including us.

                                                      Although I would love to have more, these two are the loves of my life and they make me ;proud in their accomplishments. They both are enrolled in an Arts and Technology school and there are only 6 students in Theresa's class, so they have almost one on one teaching. She is an honor roll student and the girl reads about 10 books a week. She reminds of the little boy on "the Middle", she loves to read, just as I did when I was her age. I just couldn't get enough of it.

I have taken pictures of my trees and decorations, but you will find they almost look the same as last year, except there are fewer decorations. I may put out more things, but right now, I need a break and we are having another cancer aid bingo tomorrow, so that has been keeping me busy making donations for the bingo. Hope you all have a great weekend. Love, hugs, and prayers.
