Well, we've finally got some new news and a chance to sit down and tell you about it! October was a busy month. Savannah finished up Marching Band season the last weekend in October. The band competed at the Youth in Music Championship in Minneapolis, MN. They took first in their class and nearly swept the caption awards (best drumline, best guard line, best hornline). Now she is focusing on the concert band season.
Duncan has also been busy with his music. He auditioned for the Northwest Iowa honor band and made it so we were in Storm Lake this last Saturday for the concert. It was a long day for him, but I think he enjoyed it! The middle school also had their fall concert a couple of weeks ago and Duncan played in the band and orchestra. The french horn hasn't been getting much of a workout lately, but he has a solo contest in December so he has something to challenge him. He also auditioned for the Northwest Iowa Honor Orchestra this last week and should find out in a couple of weeks if he made that.
The semester continues to march on for Sean and I. We'll really feel like it is nearly over after the Thanksgiving Break. Everyone is starting to feel the drag of tests and assignments. The students really need a break and so does the faculty!
