I was lucky enough to have Sara and Heath invite me to attend the Ripley Invitational this evening. I got to hang out with my favorite high school band....Cadets of Cordova. It was great seeing the kids. I love them and they greeted me with lots of hugs. The band has returned to their classic Cadet uniform including the braids. They looked fashionable and old school. Shout out to Welshman....I agree! Bring the Eagles back!! Love to Max, Aysha, and Dennis. Sharp, professional, FIERCE!
I adore my guard girls. They looked absolutely gorgeous in their new costumes and the flags were spectacular. Great work girls....you performed beautifully and I was so proud to be there, cheering you on. Shout out to Ami....way to flash the crowd, girl. You made me proud. I will post the pics I took of you guys when I can figure out how to get them off my phone. I am challenged. We raced home before awards because it is Sara's 21st birthday, and she had her birthday party goers, waiting anxiously for her to arrive. I will give an update on score results when I get them.
Other thoughts: Nice to see Jennifer Cooper and the Bartlett Band! Ripley is definitely not the same show as it has been in the past eight years. Small crowd, no picnics on the grassy knoll, plenty of seating in the stands. I did not see any rice krispie treats or baked goods made by southern women. We got there late and parked at the front door. That never happened in the past. The Ripley kids were gracious as always. They finally figured out that it was unsafe to have the bands scale the hills down to the termite eaten "troll bridge" to enter the field. Great decision. The field condition was excellent. Chemlawn must have charged them a fortune. Gorgeous green grass. The weather was perfect. Not too cool. Not too windy. Lovely. One of the early performing bands played Jungle Boogie and Papa Was a Rolling Stone. I grooved to the jam, up in the parking lot. Also, saw some chartreuse, which is always one of my favorite choices for guard uniforms. :) There was a great variety of interesting choices in spandex, sequins, and poly china silk, as always.
I will give an update once I have more info on the results. Just wanted to get my "HOLLA!" out to the kids. Good job. Love you. M. Abe
