Blog Withdrawal

Soooooo sorry for not posting lately. I'm not even posting from my own computer right now. Mine is down for the count and has been for almost 3 weeks now. A friend is coming over tonight to work on it for me. Cross your fingers and hope for the best. Hopefully by the end of the evening I'll be able to get caught up. I have a ton to share... Stay tuned.

Marching Band

It's official. Emile is a member of the West York Area High School "Bulldogs" Marching Band! Well almost anyway. Let me explain. This coming Sunday the band leaves for Maryland for a week of band camp. Monday is "Rookie Day." As you may have guessed, that's the day when the Freshman go through initiation.... that's when she will be truly official. Em's excited and nervous at the same time. I know she'll do just fine.
Tonight the band had pictures taken for the yearbook... and the beginning of the season. This isn't the best pic, but you get the drift. Emile is in the second row back from the drums, right side, second person in. Again, not the best but she's there.

With temps in the 80's and humdity and dew points off the chart too, you can imagine how glad the kids were to be done with pics. Here is Em's clarinet section after their pics... followed immediately by Em doing her "strip show" for me. Ok, not really. It was all G-rated.

"Get me out of this thing!!!"

And finally... one of Emile's many friends, Laura... who's also in her section. Don't they just look great together?

Best of luck Emile... and the entire band... and the West York Bulldogs! Hope you make many memories. Remember, these are the best years of your life. Enjoy them while they last.
