Friday Night Lights

Friday night was the last football game of the season.

Yesterday was their last marching competition.  Two in fact.

Tristan has had a great time!  Here are some pictures from the season,

mostly not taken by me, but copied from the boosters page on Facebook.

With Gavin and Gabriel, working at a McNeese game. 

Tristan raised enough money by hawking pizzas to pay for his spring band trip.

The band and the color guard earned Superiors and the drum line earned a II. 

They also earned Best in Class Drum Major, Best in Class Auxiliary, 

and Best Over All Auxiliary. 

At the Sulphur Marching Festival on November 3rd.
Ethan and I were able to go see them and all the other bands perform.
It was a long day, but we had a great time!

In his first set, ready to go.  Tristan is in the middle.

At the Sulphur competition yesterday, they earned Sweepstakes, which is straight Superiors.

They also earned Best in Class Drum Major, Best in Class Auxiliary, and Best Over All Auxiliary.  They also earned an award for being the highest scoring band in District V, 

which is the band district that our parish is in. 

Right after the awards at the Sulphur competition, they left to compete in the McNeese Showdown at Sundown marching competition. They earned Sweepstakes, Best in Class Drum Major, 

Best in Class Auxiliary, and Best Over Auxiliary.

They've had a great fun season.  Their show was called "Songs of the Southland,"
and it included Tara's Theme from Gone with the Wind, Old Man River,
Tennessee Waltz, and St. Louis Blues.

If you'd like to see their show, it's posted on YouTube at the link below.

(The man you can hear speaking throughout
the performance is their band director, Mr. Gould.)
