The Marching Band refused to yield....

Lawrence Central took 3rd place in the 2008 Grand National Championship!

This was a near flawless year with a group of kids who truly learned to work together. These are just a couple of the key lessons Band is teaching these young adults...strive for excellence and lift each other up. This is the exact finish LC achieved last night. Randy Greenwell, Matt James, Greg Hagen, Tod Hinton....you are my heroes!

Congratulations to the Avon Marching Black and Gold for taking first place. They worked long and hard for their moment last night. It was a phenomenal show.

Aunt Brenda seemed to enjoy the evening, but I ended up keeping her out until after 3am! May we both recover quickly. It was wonderful to have her here to share this fun time with us.

Now we look forward to Winter Guard and the Phoenix trip. Never a dull moment!

Spirit of Central

You can't even imagine the high level of excellence that Marching Bands achieve here in Indiana. Our State competition is coming up and there are so many bands that could come out as the State Champion! Keep your fingers crossed for us!

You can pick Emily out if you watch real close...about midway through the short clip (hope this posts right!) she leaps over from the right to the 50 and does a toss.
