Playing the solo {or duet in this case} for the National Anthem.
Almost a HORRIBLE parent moment. It was raining...was supposed to be raining all night. Mike & I asked the kids if they would be upset if we didn't go to the game that night. In the past they haven't marched on the field when it's been raining. {Can't mess up the field for the football team.}. They both said that would be fine.
We went to the high school for the annual teacher's tailgate party and ate dinner. It wasn't really raining so I ran down to the band room to ask if they were marching or not. Thank goodness Kristy said they were going out there ~ because that made me decide to go to the game. We walked over to watch pregame & heard, "Please rise for the playing and singing {the choir was there} of our National Anthem. Tonight's trumpet solo will be preformed by seniors Patrick Barton and Adam Poulsin."
We both just turned to look at each other, not believing we almost missed this event. And I have to add, there were tears in our eyes. This ride of raising Patrick has gone so fast. So proud of who he is becoming.
