band banquet

one last hurrah for these band besties!

the seniors were given their gifts - embroidered blankets, with cookie name tags made by me.

the slide show was running during dinner, with slides about each senior (created by me).

the band director talked about each senior, recalling a favorite memory of each of them.

i thought that was very special.

scholarship recipients were announced, and little sister received a one-time award of $500!  she was so shocked to win.

we will miss you, class of 2024!!

the night ended with music, dancing, and photo booth shenanigans.

we couldn't end the night without getting a special photo with little sister's band director, a teacher that has been with her since sixth grade and who has watched her grow into the percussionist she is today.  many thanks for all the memories.
