Saturday Band stuff, Nov 13, 2021

 Oops. Almost All photo groups are in reverse order.

We waited in line FOREVER for some hot chocolate and breakfast sandwich food at Starbucks. Then went to Convention center to find Tandy And Braeden. 





Uniforms? Nah, them's costumes! 


Tandy's uniform committee repairing broken feathers on the shakos ( band hats).


In the convention center.

Waiting in line at hotel for our breakfast.



Hotel window views. A power plant downtown.


Kermit is a mascot for bass clarinets and Lexi got to hold him.








Then we walked over to the Lucas Oil Field, found our seats, and watched many bands perform. CTJ High School was at 11:45 a.m. Good Job. Lots of them were really really good.

Then, after bundling up more, Ella and I went sight-seeing. We saw pretty leaves, canal, river walk, waterfall , bridges, and sculptures and art galore.  The leaves were our FAVORITE!!!






























I wish you could see these ginkgo trees in sunlight! Stunning.




After we played in the leaves, working up our appetite, we went for a walk past monuments and cool old downtown buildings and ate lunch at Five Guys .



It felt good to meet up with Lexi back in our warm hotel room and relax, do home work (Lexi), nap, visit with friends in the lobby, etc.

 There are hours more performances to watch tonight, as CTJ made the finals! Again. :-). If ever there comes a time when they DONT make the finals, these  kids won't know what to do with themselves. I hope I can stay awake till the end.
