we made straight 1's (highest possible school) at U.I.L. this afternoon, and this past saturday, we came in 4th place out of 16.

i couldn't be happier. and my mom took me out for vegan pumpkin pie at my favorite veg bakery to celebrate.

Here in Canada, there isn't a high school that I know of, that has a marching band. :( Too bad cuz I'm not much of a football fan. The band, I could get into. :)
Congratulations on doing so well & I think your mother is a doll for bringing you out for vegan pumpkin pie. :)

I think I may have posted this on another thread some time ago, but when CeltKat was in the band, bookpapa had a t-shirt that said, "Football fields are for marching bands." Oh, yeah. My sentiments exactly. I went only to see the band and after the half-time show, I was outa there. Fortunately, her band was huge and good. 'Twas a pleasure to watch them perform. :)

So there is some truth behind that picture. And all this time, I thought that football was soooo huge in the States ;) LOL, marching bands are what draw the crowds :)
