It was up at 4:00 am to get the kids out the door for the first marching band competition of the year.
The competition was at Lafayette High School in Wildwood, MO. Andy and I arrived about 11:15 am and found a place in the stands to watch the preliminary performance. You could tell that all the kids were nervous, but Hickman still placed second in their division and made the finals. Their finals performance was the best run of the show that I have seen to date, and I really thought that they might place first or second overall.
However, it was not to be, and they placed third. It was still a fun day filled with great performances, and John did really well in his first marching competition. Congratulations to our two and the rest of the Hickman High Marching Band!
