First SEMO Marching Band Performance

It was really hard to not be there for Laura’s first college marching band performance, but at least we got to watch it live on Facebook. It took some looking, but I finally found her in that “Sea of Red.” Admittedly, it was really weird not seeing her in purple, but all good things eventually come to an end. It is time for all the Kassels to embrace the change and learn a new fight song led by SEMO’s largest marching band ever (80 freshman!). Go Redhawks!

Delivery

We are prepping to deliver some things to Laura at SEMO on Sunday. This is a bed rail and a shelf for her bed.

We also have varying other things like a monitor and other computer-related things, more storage, and snacks.

Now that we have a context for room size, we can actually get her a few more comforts of home.

Dorm Room

Laura’s dorm room is fully unpacked. This is the area under her bed.

This is her desk area.

We had her start a list, so that we can buy or bring anything else that she thinks she needs. She did ask for a few things like another crate for under her bed, and we hope to be able to deliver those things to her in about a week. Laura is beginning to settle in, and her roommate arrives tomorrow.

Weird

The kids are not marching in the same band anymore. This is John from earlier in the week during Hickman’s marching band camp.

And, Laura is in the second row (green shirt) during her first day at SEMO’s marching band camp.

It is just weird.
