Except it isn't quite over.
Gracie is off at her middle school dance tonight. She went with a gaggle of girls, most wearing sleeveless dresses. They looked adorable, except it's cold and rainy today. Not ideal. I also couldn't get Gracie's foot in a cute shoe or boot for the dance, instead she's wearing black high-top Converse.
Matt is off at his last regular season football game. It's an away game, so we opted not to go. It's also cold and rainy, as mentioned above. #ThanksButNoThanks
Of course, the marching band fun continues tomorrow. They have their last competition of the season and Matt has to be at school at 5:30 am. They have one of the earliest performance times, which would be a great thing, except you don't know if you make the finals until 5:30 pm.
Yes, 12 HOUR LATER.
If they make it, they perform again some time after 7 pm and the estimated return time to school is 12:15 am.
Yes, that would be over 18 HOURS LATER.
If they don't make finals, they will be home at 9:15 pm. #Save3Hours
I volunteered for the Pit Crew thinking if they didn't make it, I could get Matt home for his Confirmation rehearsal at 6:30, but honestly, even if we left 5 minutes after awards at 5:30, I'm not sure we can make it. #VolunteerFail
I really want the kids to make it to finals. I hope they have their best performance yet. In my limited understanding of the world of marching band (because this isn't what my experience was back in the early 90s), as a smaller band, we need to win our division to ensure we make it to finals.
I hope it happens. Yet, getting home before Saturday turns to Sunday would be nice.
