Marching Band Competition

This afternoon was my daughter's second to last performance this year for marching band. It was a competition in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. Their band took last in their class (AAAA). The class is determined by the number of students in the school...unfortunately, there are only 80 kids in this band, compared to 300 to 330 in the other two bands in town. Their performance was great and outstanding....it is just that with only 76 kids...their sound gets sucked out in the wide open spaces of the stadium. Very discouraging for the kids.
