DeRidder Marching Festival

Yesterday was the DeRidder marching Festival.

I was able to go watch most of the bands perform.
Our band did a great job and brought home lots of hardware!


Marching out onto the field.
As they approached the field, I noticed Tristan and Amanda holding hands.
It was really cute and sweet!  He said that they pray together each time they perform.
I hope that is a tradition he continues with next year.




Calling the band to attention.



 Standing at attention, listening to their scores.
Some of the band is in the stands behind them.

Straight Superiors in all categories and the Sweepstakes Award for receiving all Superiors.


Getting their trophies.



This next series of photos is so great! 

Tristan and Amanda received the award for Best in Class Drum Major.
This is the reaction to the award.











The band also received Best in Class Drums, Best in Class Auxiliary, and Best in Class Band.


 There was some serious excitement!



All the Executive Officers with the Awards.

Tristan--Assistant Drum Major, Amanda Mustain--Head Drum Major, Nathan Burt--First Lieutenant, Morgan Blanchet--Color Guard Captain, Derek Presgrove--Band Captain, Ashton St. Diezier--Drum Captain, and Sidney Rowley--Second Lieutenant.


Jumping for joy!!


A friend of mine, Laura Gardner, has a daughter in band.  She arranged with our Band Boosters to be at all the band functions this year and take pictures.  She then made all her photos available to the parents of the students.  She has taken almost all of the amazing photos I have posted from this year's band season.  She has done an amazing job and I am so grateful to her for giving me these wonderful pictures of Tristan's Junior year.  My camera would never have captured such great images of the band.  I am so thankful for the time and talent she shared with us!!
