It was exciting for Fairmont High School this weekend. The Winter guard placed fifth in the finals, and all our indoor percussion received first place in the finals. There were many wonderful groups there this weekend.

Quintin and I worked the entire weekend and enjoyed our time with many wonderful friends involved in music and from school. It is always neat to see the MEPA gang (Tim Parker, Julie Baldwin, Bev Oesterlin), as well as all the many volunteers that return and the countless familiar faces that stop by or pass by the merchandise booth.

We left the house each morning before 7:00am, returning after 8:00pm Saturday night, and at 6:15pm tonight. After dinner and getting some things done around the house, I snuggled with the dogs around 8:00pm to watch some television… I must have conked out immediately. At 11:30am I woke, let the dogs out and am still awake at 1:00am.

All in all, it was a tiring, wonderful weekend celebrating the performing arts and the tremendous impact it has on our lives.
