Middle School Night

It was Middle School Night at the Hickman High School football game. Eighth-grade students from three middle schools joined the marching band on the field for pre-game. There were nearly 300 kids on the field!

It was another great performance by the Hickman Marching Band, and it was another win by the Hickman football team. It was a fun Friday Night Lights!

Visiting WIU

In between college visit fun,…

…Andy and John took part in some traditions like taking pictures with Rocky…

…and eating a pony at Jackson Street Pub.

If only they had enough time to swing by the marching band practice field for a little “Georgia on My Mind.” John enjoyed the visit, but WIU would not be at the top of his list because they do not have a dedicated veterinary technology program. However, he did not completely rule it out. I am good with that!

College Visit

Andy and John are at Western Illinois University for a college visit tomorrow. They stayed at the University Union hotel tonight, visited the WIU Sigma Chi house, and ate at Chick’s on the Square. Andy is having a lot of fun showing John our old stomping grounds.

Kansas City Championships

I dropped John off at Broadway Diner at 7:00 am for his first section breakfast of the year.

Then, it was off to Blue Springs South High School for the Kansas City Championships and the first marching band competition of the year.

It was a great first competition. The band has improved the show so much in just one, short week!

They finished first place in Class 3A for the morning session, and they finished third overall in the final competition. Also, they were one of only three bands that performed their full show.

Congratulations to the Hickman Marching Band, but especially to our Senior. We are so proud!
