Final Performance of "Video Games" for CRUB!
This is the last-ever performance of "Video Games" for the Round Up Band. They competed in the finals for the World Association of Marching Show Bands in Calgary 2012. The finals were done at the Stampede centennial.

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).

The Diamond Valley Parade
… and so it starts!
We just filled out the calendar for all the rehearsals and performances for the Round Up Band and it's really looking busy. I was thrilled to hear that Erin would be one of the Drum Majors for the June 2 Diamond Valley parade (a joint venture between Black Diamond and Turner Valley, two towns that are very close together.
It was a rainy day but it settled down before the parade. It turned out beautiful, as a matter of fact… not too hot and not wet! The only mistake was that we made was getting on the wrong side of the street. Erin was the Drum Major farthest from us. The Drum Majors wear black tops and carry a mace, while the regular band members wear blue tops and carry their instruments.
I didn't see Tim when I was filming. He plays the tenor saxophone and we later found out that he wore blue plaid underwear instead of the "official" gray undergarments. The white pants are semitransparent so this kind of faux pas can lead to being pulled from the marching order. Maybe you can spot him in this clip (again, I think he was farthest from where we were sitting … but I don't recall seeing him).
