The travel was limited but it was a busy weekend as the LHS band performed at halftime Friday at the Lincoln-Spearfish game, marched in the Festival of Bands parade on Saturday morning, and were exhibitionists in the evening at the FOB finals.
Friday evening the band held their annual Senior Recognition Night, honoring senior marchers and their parents. Senior Ryan Landeen had a photo op with his father Neal (at left) who is away in the military. A cutout of Neal was held next to Ryan during the Ave Maria warm-up.
Lincoln was the first high school band down the street shortly after 9 on a muggy FOB morning. After parading Main Avenue, the band boarded buses and returned to the school.
The band's even performance was awesome, especially given the near-gale force winds that picked up late. The poles swayed, but the band ROCKED the crowd.
Among the highlights of the weekend ... Neil Krohse, lead pole guy for Friday night jumped the gun setting the five power poles shortly after the little cheer girls had finished their number. The problem was they performed two numbers ... Imagine our surprise when a cell phone went off in the back of the truck with the ring tone "Singin' In The Rain". Robert Schlup - we would have never guessed ... Sha Langenfeld coined a new term for volunteers doing double duty. Our Pit Mom named people like her "Chaperoadies" ... One of the best scenes of Saturday evening - well, I can't even say. It happened in the north parking lot, and, after what happened last week, was priceless.
