GR parent

Check out this YouTube. This is how the Blue Springs band was welcomed home after GN, and after dodging tornadoes in southern Illinois. They had to take cover in the back of a Walmart when the tornado sirens started going off while they were stopped for lunch! Several parents got pictures or videos of tornadoes on their way home! The police even gave them a police escort to the high school! There were a lot of parents anxious to hug their kids!!

Congratulations to the Woodlands, and the other Texas bands, with the great showing at Indy! Sorry, but this Blue Springs' parent didn't give away his tickets to finals; I watched and cheered at finals as did our band. Many of our kids talked about how nice the kids from the Woodlands and Round Rock were to them. One kid talked about how when leaving the stadium after the semi finals, the kids from Round Rock TX gave our band a three finger salute like they did in the hunger games for a fallen contestant. My son said it was awesome! It really lifted their spirits. According to many of the kids, Round Rock and The Woodlands were the nicest group of kids. They told them they really wanted Blue Springs to go to finals with them and they where bummed when Blue Springs didn't get to go. I know you guys have some GREAT bands in Texas, but it sounds like you have some GREAT kids too!!

This Blue Springs parent had a GREAT time at San Antonio! What they say about the Texas bands, is all true. There were sooooo many awesome bands there this weekend! And the fans were GREAT too! So many GREAT kids and GREAT fans! Thank you!
