Recap of yesterday's performance
We are pretty good. We played very well for the most part and are down to small things. Visually the small things are killing us. We still have individuals not holding their horns up the entire time and just being a bit lazy. There is no excuse for this at all. All the judges really liked us and some loved us. The best comment I heard on the tape was this: "You will certainly be among the best next weekend." I would like to see our best and most emotional run of the year next week at 4:45 p.m. The stadium should work for us. It is big and the field surface is AstroTurf so it will be a firm surface. That should fit us well as we rehearse on asphalt most the time. I wish there was some way to get the kids excited about what they were doing. That would give us the 2 extra points we are looking for. We are so close yet still have so far to go. What do we need most? Self discipline is it. The easiest and yet the most difficult quality we need is in us. Nobody can make us do it yet nobody can keep us from it either.
Great job yesterday and for me a day I won't soon forget. Our first win together as it should have been. It was far away and just us competing with us. I sure was nice to hear our name last!

I am so excited for the kids for this weeks performance! I know we will do well next week too!
One suggestion: How about not letting the kids eat so much candy before the performance. I think the sugar hipe slows down brain after awhile. Something I just notice and as a parent know how it can take the energy away after awhile. I notice that the gifts they give each other is loaded with sweets. Maybe so protein before the performance would be better. :)
Go Dutch Spirit Marching Band! You are the best and we are proud of you and the hard work you have done!
We are SO excited about the bands performance on Saturday! It was such a welcome after the difficult time they had during the week. Hopefully they will continue to work together for a common goal this coming week too! I look forward to watching their progress as the week begins. Because of your continued efforts they are shining! Our hats off to you! My daughter often comments on just how much better the band is in performance than last year. They are capable of so much more this year. It is because of your undying efforts that made this happen! Thanks so much for working with them and showing all of them that they have incredible potential as a marching band!
Mr Brady
i really like what you are doing with us. it's a major change from last year. all of us are striving toward a common goal, and you're helping to get us much closer.
it felt amazing this weekend hearing our name is the grand champions, although i still think its funny they called us duck fork.
i really like what you're doing, and i know in the next few years we're just going to get even better than we are next year.
i think at state, people are gonna be pumped. i hope so because we can make it. as you always so, we are capable of doing really well if we put our mind to it.
i just wanted to say thank you.
