Video Games!


This is the Round Up Band's performance for the World Association of Marching Show Bands.  This is the second day of competition.  The Band earned a score of 82.7 which is a Silver Medal performance.  They will again play on Tuesday night and will make some adjustments based on the statements from the judges.

My son Tim is the gamer wearing an orange shirt.  Jordan, his friend, is Bowser and he's wearing a heavy costume on a *very* hot day.  My daughter Erin plays the saxophone in the right hand side of the field.  Congratulations, CRUB!

Well, it's the 2012 Stampede - the centennial year for the festival.

The parade this year drew around 400 000 people.  Tim and Erin were part of it.  Erin is the Drum Major (DIT, actually:  Drum Major in Training).  We're so proud of both of the kids!

Here's them performing "Build Me Up Buttercup" (one of my favourite marching pieces).
