Thanks!

 

Haltom is heading out tonight! Charter buses, trailers, band kids, instruments, parents, and loads and loads of Gatorade and water...what a trip! Can't wait to see them perform on Saturday. Wishing all participating bands the very best, especially to our fellow Texas band, James Martin! Keep the Spirit!

That must be very exciting for James Martin to have placed so high. Very indicative of the recent growth of their program.

It was also very exciting for Haltom, having made finals in a BOA contest for the first time since 2007. Having had a bus breakdown on the way there and other such challenges, including the ferry/lunch that was planned for Friday being canceled, Haltom gave two stunning performances and were beside themselves getting to be a part of the finals retreat. 

 

It was great seeing both Texas bands make finals and I was personally thrilled to not only sit behind some awesome Blue Springs band parents but also visit with some Martin parents. Not just because Haltom made finals...but this was the most overly friendly, lovely BOA event I've been to in 6 years. I hope Haltom goes again. (and I'm exhausted! lol Band kids are the hardest working kids in high school and Band parents are the hardest working parents! Congrats to all bands!)

Wow, since 2007? That's really exciting! Texas was well represented indeed.

That is all awesome to hear! Congrats to both Haltom and Martin! Way to represent Texas well at St. Louis!

Cool. The 2007 was what was passed around the band, after Haltom made finals. Memories fade..especially in old people. Still, quite an accomplishment. I knew it had been since before my daughter started in 2009. Thanks for the correction.
