Seth's Saxophone Performance

Each year Concord High School does a Jazz Cafe where you can sit in a cafe like setting, eat dinner and listen to High School Jazz bands perform.  Concord, in the past, has invited area school jazz bands to perform as well.  Another area high school, Penn, has a Jazz Ala Mode where you can enjoy school jazz bands and eat dessert.  We went this year because Concord was invited and Seth had a nice solo part that we wanted to see.  Copy the link into your browser and enjoy his performance via my YouTube channel.

 It is time for 2011 Track and Field.  The first two pictures are when Cassidy was in 7th and 8th grade and her records.  Unfortunately they included the old "s" at the end of her name.  The bottom picture is current for her 2011 sophomore year as she poses in her track uniform.  Today was her first meet of the season.  She scored a 4th place finish in the 100 hurdles, a 1st place finish in the 300 hurdles, and a 2nd place in the    4 x 4 relay.

 

Seth just concluded his performance as Commander William Harbison-Navy in the musical South Pacific.  Very Good performance by the High School team.  Janelle and I saw it twice to cheer Seth on.

Hmmm...still Winter

A short while ago, we had a some additional snow hit us.  I don't think the storm was as big as it could have been, but we still had some pile up as we shoveled it out of the way.

At the end of the 2009-2010 school year, Cassidy was awarded her varsity letter and received a plague for her performance in track & field as most improved during her Freshman year.

She spent the year learning how to do the "four step" in the 100 meter hurtles and learning how to make it over hurtles that were 3 inches taller than in Junior High.

She also participated in the 300 meter hurtles. This was her first year doing it and is a killer race. By the end of the year she was running in the 51.3 second range. At the first of the year she was running 55-56 seconds. She also became the top 300 meter hurtle runner at the high school beating out the others one of which was a junior.

Seth was in the school fall play entitled, "Auntie Mame." He played a rich snob. This is his picture right after one of the performances.

Rebecca's soccer team 2010. We are the Champions of the girls 5th-6th grade. I was able to coach her team. It was an exciting championship game. We were down 2-0 and fought back with 2 goals to tie and then kicked a penalty kick after the opposing team was caught tripping in the goalie box. The penalty kick put us up 3-2 and we held on for the win. Rebecca became a huge asset in the defensive field pretty much playing as our safety in front of the goalie for the season. She instilled a lot of confidence in others with her performance.
