Oh, No!

Got a call this morning that Rachel was feeling sick at the hotel after the marching competition. I took her to the Dr. after she got back to town where we learned she officially had the flu -- probably H1N1 (swine flu)! Joy.

Marching Northmen!

Took the day and went to watch Rachel march in a competition at Jenison, MI (west of Grand Rapids). They put on a great show, the last one I am able to see as I have to be out of town next week.

They took second (the only 2nd they got this year), though they are #1 in my book!
They competed against the same school later that evening in another competition and won there!

PHS Band calendar

I am toying with making a sharable calendar for the upcoming Petoskey High School Band program. The steps:

• To subscribe to this calendar go to (or create) your Google Calendar account (http://calendar.google.com)
  
• Under "Other Calendars" in the "add a friends Calendar" enter the public address of the band's calendar: 539dl115arq8n0ua5qmvqn4d08@group.calendar.google.com
  
• Once it is in your list, you can go to the "Settings" option beneath that, then "Notifications"
  
• From here you can indicate the types of update messages you need, as well as set a reminder. These updates and reminders can be directed to your email address or a SMS device (text messages to a cell phone)

Memorial day parade

We got out to enjoy the Memorial Day parade.

Moving & Music

We spent the day helping Adam get packed to head south. Of course, we had to have as much fun doing it as possible.



It's been a long time since I thought I'd see the 'Grenade' leave my back yard...






After that, we enjoyed the Band-Aid program at NCMC put on by the Petoskey Middle and High School Bands.

Craft room addition + Festival practice

We got a preview of Rachel's approaching band competition. Of course that was a real trick with her just getting braces 2 days ago! How unfair!



Ordered this from Tiger Direct Sunday night, arrived today!

Dawn does have to share!

So far, so Great!

Time out for music

Saw my little girl's Winter concert. Got to sit front and center.


She beats to the sound of her own drum!


The steel drum makes beautiful music!
