Solo and Ensemble Contest

It's been a rough couple of weeks. I had the stupid stomach flu, ARGH!!!!! This week the girls had the other virus going around. (The one with all the congestion and fever). The Band Solo and Ensemble Contest was this past weekend, February 14. Brianna received 2 silvers but was ripped off. I'm not just saying that because she's excellant; but her band director (I'm told) had a few choice words for the judge. This judge hardly gave any of the contestants golds. Brianna's piccolo solos was right at 8:30 and they arrived at Southridge at approximately 8:15. Brianna's CD for her accompaniment wouldn't play for her flute solo. Mikayla started flipping out at 9:30 that she needed to practice, I guess she had a case of the nerves. Mikayla received a gold. She really liked her judge.

Now we are practicing for the talent show in March that all 4th through 6th graders get to participate in. Brianna says she playing her flute. Mikayla is singing a couple of Alvin and the Chipmunks songs with a couple of friends. Of course, she's Alvin!!!

The next thing for band will be the 4th Annual Music Festival at Holiday World in May. Last year the 5th grade band (Brianna's) beat the other two mentary bands, Barr Reeve's 6th grade and South Knox's 6th grade.

Back to Normal.....Maybe

Well all the snow and ice are almost gone and Dr. Harmon just called and the kids are going back to school at the regular time. What time would that be??? LOL!!!!! Mikayla and John are at a basketball tourney at South Knox and Brianna is practicing her flute and piccolo solos. Yes, the contest was cancelled until Feb. 14. This is the last home game of Brianna's cheering for this year and she will be at the contest. This was also Mikayla's last home game of the year. She has a game on February 19 at Bloomfield. John just called the 5th grade is done in the tourney....They played Washington Hatchets and it wasn't pretty. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!! John's mom didn't have her surgery because of the weather. April and Kevin found out they were having a little girl. Brianna is quite pleased with the name.....MAGGIE MAE. (Brianna is thinking after her.)

Dozer now fetches anything; apples, oranges, frozen eggs, the girls HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! They broke every tote lid I have that was big enough to ride on. OH WELL, It was so funny watching them play.

The weathermen are calling for spring this next week, does that mean flooding????
