They performed at several rallies and events during the course of the day. They are 300 kids strong, kids who, much like athletes, have made an impressive and challenging commitment. They practice five days a week for several hours each day. On Saturdays, game days, they are already rehearsing at 6:30 AM. These musicians have so much spirit and talent and dedication; it takes your breath away. I am one who never really paid much attention to marching bands before, so this is an eye opener for me.
Max loves being part of it. Can’t you tell from his beaming face in this picture taken at the end of a very long day of marching and cheering and dancing and cymballing?

Well, having just returned from Parents Weekend at ISU, I was wondering--before logging on--whether (and when) you would get to see Max. And voila!, there is your report!
We also attended a football game--though in cool, drizzly weather, all bundled up. The ISU Marching Band played fantastically; the football team, unfortunately, did not. 3 to 56.
Our girl is really enamored with texting friends (some of whom were just feet away); her parents took a "backseat" to the friend and drove home with long faces. :(
