Since I'm in a new apartment I decided to do something I haven't done in a while..put up lights. I think they are festive enough.

If You Wondered Where Everyone from Cedar Park was Today
The one point loss to Lake Travis was heartbreaking for the kids but it was one great season.

Yes We're Still Dressing Up the Band
This is the last month we can try for $25,000 for the Cedar Park High School Band to get new concert uniforms. You can look a couple of posts down and see the details. Needless to say we are hoping to finish in the top 10 this month and secure the money so we can have these new uniforms in house in time for UIL concert and sightreading contest in a few months. Here's what you can do to help. Click on the link below to vote on the web or you can text code 102114 to PEPSI, 73774, on your cell phone. You can also find the Pepsi Refresh Project on Facebook and vote from there. But let me tell you a secret. You can do ALL THREE every day this month. Now if you're not a band parent you may not want to make that kind of committment but it would be really cool if you did and help out a bunch of great kids. They already play like champions. We want them to look like champions too. Please help us out and give the Cedar Park High School Band a New Year's Day to remember.
Marching Season Ends
As a follow up to the post with the first video of marching season for the Cedar Park High School Band here is a video shot by parent Lenny Troupiano that ends the season at the last game. This is close to the full show. The only place that was performed was in Indianapolis at the Bands of America Grand National Championships. The goal all year was to get into the finals so the band could fight for a top 10 in the nation finish. That's exactly what happened. The band finished 10 in the entire country and the students, including my daughter Amanda, had the time of their lives. The parents and conductors are very proud of the band and all of the kids that made it happened. I have never, ever heard a high school band play with as much power as this band played with in Indianapolis. It was amazing, eventhough I was watching it all on an internet stream plugged into my surround sound from my couch in Austin, Texas. I hope you enjoy the show. It's amazing the number of hours that went into developing it and perfecting it and that's is what they did.
