2010 Band Festival. Concert Band 1...this is the band that Cassidy is part of. This is a portion of the song.

2010 Band Festival-Symphonic Band. The best Concord has. They took 10th in the State of Indiana this past Saturday. There are no classes in this competition. This was 10th from the whole state. This performance is one movement of a song...so only a portion of it.

2010 Band Festival. This is the 48th year they have done this. Find Erika, Seth and Cassidy in the pictures.

Family update:

Rebecca just concluded her first season playing Volleyball. Congratulations, Rebecca.

Seth and Erika are in Indianapolis today. Their high school symphonic band advanced to the State finals last week and today took 10th out of 16 teams.

Cassidy is a member of her high school track team mainly running in the 100m hurdles and the 300m hurdles. This is a video of her 2nd meet running the 300m Hurdles. She is in the green and captured 3rd place. This is a new race for her as it wasn't a race they ran in Junior High. Yep, she is winded by the end. However, this is a race that she is getting control of. This past Wednesday in a tri-meet event she scored 1st place. This coming week she will participate in the NLC Conference meet and then it is on to Sectionals. The top four qualifyers from Sectionals will advance to Regionals. Those who qualify at Regionals will advance to the state finals.

Here is a poem that Rebecca created (with a little help) which she recited at The Young Author's Conference on Saturday:

Indianapolis Zoo

Indianapolis Zoo is a fun place to be,
And over spring break I got to see,
A dolphin show where they did cool tricks.
They jumped through hoops like they were sticks,
They jumped in the air and did some flips,
And on top of the water they did lots of skips.
When we got to the seals they waved at us,
And we got to play Simon says with them which was an awesome plus!
We went to the dog sharks, and I got to touch one.
It was wet and scary, but it was still a lot of fun!
We went on a train ride around the zoo,
And saw giraffes, elephants, and an animal hospital too.
As we walked around getting tired and sore,
We saw monkeys, lions, tigers, rhinos, and so much more!
But I'm still curious about those dog sharks,
Because I never heard them bark!

Prom 2010. Erika went solo this year, but had fun with friends. They ate at Olive Garden, enjoyed the dance and ended up at IHOP afterwards. She rolled in around 3 AM.

Yay Becky!

She is playing 5th grade volleyball for her school Oxbow Elementary. She may have a hidden talent.

Greetings from the Indianapolis Zoo! Spring Break 2010 took us to the Zoo. From a Dolphin Show to a ride on the train to seeing different kinds of animals it was blast.
