Meanwhile, in other news, The Indoor Band Show

I saw earplugs distributed.
I left the hearing aids at home.

The band, streaming down the aisles,
assembling onstage.
There are more than two hundred in the band.
Onstage.
Up the stairs.
And, in the balconies.
Instead of the regular tall marching hat, many wore costume hats.
That's our trumpeter there. The short one.


More hats.


The best hat!


The kid.
Only two playoff games left.

With luck, only one.

    Two Hundred!!! That's 100 more than my entire senior high school class!!! It's funny that you mentioned it... but I've been leaving my hearing aids at home a lot these days... haven't resorted to ear plugs yet... and there's no high school bands here, but the noise level is so much more than I'm used to. However... I'm still rooting for the home team!

    That must have been deafening to those who chose not to wear earplugs. Good idea to leave the hearing aids at home.
    Why the hats? Was there a special occasion?

      The uniform has a tall hat. They were so cramped on the stage they did not wear them so they could move around and not hit hats. The hats are current teenage humor. The director is fine with it.

    These are the times they will remember when they are older, like us. I understand about wanting the season to wrap up. I was wondering about the hats, too. -Jenn

    I don't know how they can muster the energy to play for so long for wind instruments.

    Lovely pictures of young people really enjoying themselves Joanne. Never mind leaving the hearing aids at home - I would love to have heard them.
