Band banquet

The end of the year is getting closer. I can't believe the banquet is here and then next week is spring concert. It seems just like yesterday that I was sitting here for last years banquet. It definitely comes up really quickly. This year I am not feeling well so it is making being here not great. Being sick and trying to be the happy spouse is not fun. I will definitely be slipping out as soon as I can get away. 

First year honor band

Well today is the day of first year honor band. So very proud of my niece. I still can't believe she is old enough to be in beginning band. This is probably my last year for awhile to come. I know I am a bad band wife because I am only here for my niece and last year for my nephew. I must admit I am not that involved with the junior high kids until they get to high school. One thing I find absolutely cut about beginners is there get so big when they walk into an auditorium this size. As I am sitting here one little girl goes it is definitely bigger then our schools auditorium. At this age they aren't quite jaded and are still fairly innocent. This will end in the next couple of years. My niece is in the b band so it will be a while before you see pictures, but I will get them. 

You can see her very well but the girl with her legs crossed is my niece. How is it possible that she is old enough to be doing this.
