Fiesta Bowl Bound

At 7:45 this morning a charter bus waited to take part of the Lakeshore band to Chicago O'Hare airport. The bus was enthusiastically packed, people checked and accounted for on "the list" and said people settled in the bus for the drive. As the bus pulled out of the parking lot, a part of my heart left on that bus. Yes, Mary is on her way to Arizona! Her flight out of Chicago leaves around 12:00 pm and they should arrive in Arizona around 5 pm, our time. I am so excited for her~ they have a full schedule which includes practice and performing but a lot of fun stuff too! Please pray for safe travel for everyone and that everyone (including luggage ^_^) gets where they are supposed to be in one piece!

If anyone is interested there is a website that has info on the competition and also what the bands will be doing. There is supposed to be a web cam set up so the performance can be viewed. The competition is on Jan.1 and Lakeshore marches at or around 12:15. This time is Arizona time, I believe they are 2 hours behind us. If Lakeshore makes the finals(only 8 bands will move on) they will march again around 6 pm. The web site is fiestabands.com. They have also set up a page for each band and for that you need the password. The login/username is lakeshore and the password is blossom.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and were able to enjoy being with family and friends during this blessed time of year!
