Rolling through the heat of summer

Wednesday, August 6, 2008

Our son is in his second week of marching band camp. The marching band students and directors are a highly dedicated group of hard-working people who strive for perfection, working 10 or more hours a day in hot and humid conditions. Nothing will do but to put together a perfect show to achieve the best results at the competitions. I marvel at the dedication and work all of these people put into the show and the fabulous performance we get to enjoy after hours and hours of practice. We look forward to a sneak preview Friday night when the students will perform part of the show for an audience at the high school. As the season progresses, you will be hearing more about the fabulous Cape Central Marching Tigers.
