On Saturday, the 10th, the Kuna Marching Band performed at the ISU Marching Band Invitational. The girls rode the bus to Pocatello and Les & I went in the pick-up and pulled the band trailer. There were high wind warnings/alerts for Friday so I was a little worried about the trip, but thankfully we had no problems. There were a few gusts between Glenns Ferry and Twin that we felt, but nothing too bad. I also have a wonderful husband for a driver so that helps. :) We spent the night at the Holiday Inn in Pocatello and they served us breakfast (biscuits, hash browns, eggs & sausage, and orange juice & coffee). Then it was off to the show. We got there about 9:30 and Kuna performed at 1:30. The awards show was at 4:30. That's a long time to sit in bleachers! But it was entertaining & it's hard to get bored when there is a new band with new songs every 15 min. to watch. I did bring a book to read, but never opened it. We headed home after the awards. The buses stopped in Pocatello to eat dinner before heading home. Les & I went to Am. Falls & meet Mom, Dad & A. Avy for dinner. (I think we got the better end of the deal!) We all made it back to Kuna High just after 10pm. What a long, quick weekend that was!
Kuna was in the 3A group (this competition goes by band size, not school size). There were 5 schools in the group and Kuna placed 3rd! That was/is pretty awesome.
Next competition is this Saturday at Vallivue, Monday at Ontario, and Saturday at BSU for DIII. Come watch - it is fun! The band will also perform at the last home football game on the 30th.
