The Last Hoorah of the Red Clarinet
Nick has now marched in two parades with the Redland Middle School marching band - one for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and one for the festivities of the Homestead Rodeo.
Okay, this is not my greatest moment as a photographer… But I felt like I was pretty lucky to get a shot at all, given the view I had, and the fact that I was not even supposed to have gone because I just sprained my ankle. Mother love, eh? LOL
The red clarinet sure looks cool… BUT…
The infamous Buffet R13 is here! Nick is gone for the weekend, and it’s been really hard to refrain from playing it - I can’t wait to hear the sound!
I am just stunned by the beautiful condition it is in. Even the case looks essentially new, and the instrument is almost 40 years old!
Knowing what it will go through being schlepped back and forth to school by a teenage boy, I’m tempted to put it in a generic case and keep that one in storage. Hmmmm…
We just got the notice for Nick’s audition to the High School program he wants to attend - March 1st. (Cutting it a bit close! My mom flies in for the anticipated baby on March 2nd.)
A full-time RV family shares their adventures - homeschooling two kids, running a home business on the road, life in an RV, interesting travel and dining experiences, you name it...

What a wonderful post. My own daughter was in marching band through 2 years of junior high and 4 years of high school. I went to all the games, competitions etc. I have some awesome photos of her marching.
