First competition of the season but not a competition

The band went to Fort Mill for a Bands of America (now switching names to Music for All) fall preview. Basically this is a nonscored competition where the bands showcase their programs. I was a bit disappointed in the parent participation - this was not played up like the time we went to the Regional championships in Atlanta in the fall of 2005. Unfortunately none of the BOA regional competitions in Atlanta have fallen at a good time since then.

One of the teachers who attended the competition and probably is using the photography hobby to travel took pictures of the band. Okay his child was in the University's exhibition show which was pretty good.

So here are a few pics of my kids as close as possible to showcase our program this year - we are doing a civil war theme and there are 6 movements and there are several flag changes and lots of props. I'm only going to share a few of them - the man must have taken about 100 pics from the contest.
Check out the video above - enjoy - E :)



AN UPDATE - COULDN'T GET THE SAVED PICTURES TO LOOK RIGHT - THEY LOOKED OKAY ON THE LINK I GOT THEM FROM BUT THEY ARE BLURRY WHEN I TRY TO MAKE MY LITTLE VIDEO OR UPLOAD TO HERE DIRECTLY - WILL WORK ON IT AND SEE WHAT I CAN COME UP WITH BECAUSE THE PICS ARE PRETTY GOOD. IF ALL ELSE FAILS, I POST THE LINK TO THE PICS AND LET YOU GUYS SEE THE WHOLE THING INCLUDING OTHER ACTIVITIES BUT THE FIRST 1/3 OR SO IS JUST FROM SATURDAY - E :)
