For the 3rd weekend in a row, Homestead's Alliance Marching Band took 1st place. They did an incredible job, we are so very proud of Ian. It all started Friday night with the Homecoming game. Homestead beat Bellmont. It was a great game, and the band did an incredible job playing at half-time. Ian went to his first homecoming dance and really enjoyed himself.
Saturday morning I was on pavilion duty for the band. What a great way to meet other band moms!! Then in the evening we decorated the car and were off to Northrop High School for their Invitational. The stadium was packed, but we were able to get great seats. There was only Homestead, Snider and Carroll competing in Class A. Homestead took 1st, Snider 2nd and Carroll 3rd. All three schools have an AWESOME show!!!
