It was a fun weekend of marching band for the Kassels. Laura had the Farmington Marching Invitational with the SEMO Marching Band.
John had Friday Night Lights followed by the Kansas City Championships with the Hickman High School Marching Band.
My kids do not know this yet, but they will someday. Marching Band is where it is at. No matter what is going on in their lives, they will always have a “home” on the field even when they are not marching anymore. The other members of the band are their people, their friends, and their teammates.
They will both walk off the field for the last time in just a few short years, but I know that they will always remember these weekends and marching band life. For this weekend, Laura will remember that it was her first time being a member of the exhibition band, and John will remember winning their first competition of the season and bringing home SEVEN trophies.
Marching Band. These are memories like no other.
