Last week was Homecoming week here. Their theme was Rockin Through the Ages. They got quite a kick out of dressing in the 60's 70's and 80's styles. Mckendrie's High School Band has a new advisor this year who helped them start a new era. It has been 25 years or more since the band put on uniforms and marched complete with formations at half time for a football game. These ki
ds have worked so hard practicing at 6:30 in the morning 2 to 3 mornings a week and it really paid off!! They looked fantastic!! It was awesome to see. Only one little faux pas' while they were marching off the field McKendrie's drum set fell off ! She got that deer in the 
headlights look very briefly then picked them up and bowed to the audience. Pretty funny stuff!

Monday due to budget cuts we had the day off from school. Russ is off on Mondays as well so we headed out west to see if we could find some pine nuts. As you can see I found a few NUTS among the trees but look at what we also found. Oh if it just would have been the right season!!(that what Russ and
McKendrie were saying!

Hi, Shelly,
My name is Georgia Shumway Crouch, I'm the sister to Jim Shumway, Russ's friend from Hinckley. I just had to comment on your blogpost about DHS Homecoming the Blast from the Past. I was in the band in 1979 and 1980 and used those band uniforms then. They still look great! Because of that experience my three oldest children were FORCED to learn and play band instruments. I spent many years attending band competitions and getting children out of bed at 5:00 a.m. for early morning band practices. Two of my children were drum majors for Weber High School. Now that my youngest it there, they no longer have a band program. The fabulous teacher retired and the program fell apart. I'm so sad. Being a band parent was my favorite thing about high school.
I have enjoyed your blog and will "follow" it if you don't mind. I especially got a chuckle out of your title. Do you happen to be a lunch lady now? Do you work with Marjie Taylor Adams? She and I were best buds growing up in Hinckley and even roommates our freshman year at USU.
Keep on blogging!!
