UIL Marching Band Contest

Saturday, I went to the UIL Marching Band Competition for Region 16.  Evidently this occurs in multiple parts, and I went in the evening when the 4A,5A and 6A schools were competing. A friend of mine has a son in the Lubbock High School band, and she volunteered all day.  It was a long day for her, but she was in good spirits.  It was cool but we were dressed for the weather, and it was a good evening.  Some of the bands performed really well.  The band I liked the best had a bright, airy, colorful performance with well done music.  The Lubbock High School band  performed well.  But they had a dark theme, and it came after the bright and light performance.  All and all, it was a pleasant evening.
