<p>amandakayak - isn’t that band facility fabulous! My DH and son about fainted at the 68 matched Stradevarious trumpets!!! And you’re right - everyone there was so nice and welcoming.</p>
<p>GRCxx3 Good luck to your son this year! I assume he starts soon.</p>
<p>Thanks sax! He’ll be up there next week for Band Camp!</p>
<p>Good luck to your son! I really hope he makes it!!!</p>
<p>Thanks, amadakayak! :)</p>
<p>Doing the Happy Dance here! DS made the Blue Band!!! 
</p>
<p>Amandakayak - we will be going back up there today (long story!) and I will let you know his impressions/thoughts about the whole process. All I have gotten so far is that is he is very sore from all the marching - but he had fun!</p>
<p>okay…slowing down the happy dance…seems like there are a few limited cuts to be made today. So, keeping fingers crossed!!!</p>
<p>Crossing fingers here too…</p>
<p>THAT’S AWESOME!!! Will also keep fingers crossed.</p>
<p>If he does make the band you will get an opportunity to buy 2 tx to most of the games. Usually located with the dance and cheerleader parents very low in the end zone.</p>
<p>Grcxx3, Realizing I missed you at the beginning of the week. (We listed our house a couple weeks ago and have been a little, shall we say, distracted.) I’ll pm my phone #, in case you are free or I can do anything to help. Also, keeping fingers crossed!</p>
<p>Back to doing the Happy Dance!</p>
<p>Oh my - he is SOOO happy but looks absolutely exhausted. I just hope that now that the “pressure” of the band auditions are over, he can chill out a bit!</p>
<p>YEAH!!! Congratulations to GrcxxSon!!!</p>
<p>Thanks, everyone! We are all so excited and proud of him! Now…I just hope he can get a good night’s sleep - he needs it!</p>
<p>YEAH!!! Glad everything worked out today! My son is exhausted from his HS band camp these last 4 days, and they don’t even do that high step! Seems like he might need to start conditioning now if he stands a hope. Right now he’s napping after 9 hrs in the sun.</p>
<p>Congrats Grcxx3 to your whole family!</p>
<p>My sons Blue band experience took him all over the US for 3 years culminating in the Rose Bowl Parade and game in Calif. He had the time of his life. </p>
<p>The first time he marched out of that tunnel playing the fight song to a screaming throng of 106,000 people wearing Blue and White is a moment he will never forget. He is a fan for life!</p>
<p>Good wishes and good memories to your entire family!</p>
<p>Was that the Notre Dame game, Sax? That was an amazing crowd.</p>
<p>This is slipjig’s mom. Big congrats to your son Grcxx3! Very happy for all of you. </p>
<p>Just took slipjig up today. Best wishes to all our new freshmen.</p>
<p>congrats to your son Grcxx3. I saw him today and he looked thrilled. </p>
<p>Sorry we did not get a chance to meet in person, RA training was pretty hectic and am just starting to relax now.</p>
