Last week and this week are marching band competitions for Aubrey and the amazing Buhler Marching Crusaders. They have scored higher than any other band at both of their competitions so far; KSU Central States Marching Festival and Andover's Southern Plains Marching Festival. I can't tell you how much I love that she gets to be part of such an excellent group. Some quotes heard yesterday from other students in the crowd at Andover:
"There goes the Buhler band, I just want to touch one of them!"
"I wish I could transfer to Buhler to be in that band." and from his friend: "I bet they cut off your toes if you mess up in the marching, dude!"
"Has Buhler marched yet? I don't want to miss them!"
"Here comes Buhler, prepare to be amazed!"
The Andover festival was mostly 4A and 5A schools from around here. The KSU competition was 34 bands with predominantly 5A and 6A schools from the Kansas City area.
Tonight both Aubrey and Luke march at Buhler's home football game, then Friday Aubrey travels to Topeka to march at Washburn Rural's stadium for a showcase. They spend the night there and travel to Warrensburg, MO for the toughest competition of all at Central Missouri State. We'll let you know how it goes!
