Saturday, November 1
DH and I really wanted to go and see the marching band perform in St. George, but we didn't want the younger kids to have to miss out on trick or treating. So we decided to stay in town on Friday for trick or treating and then DH and I traveled down to St. George on Saturday morning to watch the band in the BOA competition that afternoon. Luke watched the kids in the morning and then my parents came over and spent most of the day with them. We got there in time to see the band perform and then we stayed around to hear which groups were going on to finals and then we left to drive back home. We got back around 11:30 that night. It was kind of a fun day just the two of us and not having to worry about the kids at all! The weather was a little crazy down in St. George. When we got to the competition, it started to rain a little - big drops of rain. It was a little windy and cool as well. It poured during one of the bands that was right before M&M but then it cleared up again before they went on.
It was a little bit of a disappointing season for M&M's band this year. I don't think they placed at all in any of the competitions. I'm not sure if it was the show itself or they just didn't quite click when they needed to or just that the other bands improved more than we did. It was also quite a different makeup than last year - last year they had a lot of seniors who graduated and were not part of the group this year. They also did their trips a little bit differently this year. Instead of taking one big trip to Southern California and St. George at the end of the season, they took a trip to Southern California in mid-October and then another 2-night trip to St. George for the state competition and BOA competition. There were some plusses and minuses to doing it that way. We will have to see what they decide for next year.
