time for pumpkins

 

our annual trip to the pumpkin patch - a bit windy but still beautiful!

full band comp #1

 

another saturday.....another performance....this time the full band was on display as they competed in the preliminary round at 2:45pm - and yes it was yet again so very hot.

ready to take the field.

i was able to jump up into the stands and take pics during the performance.

we didn't place in the top ten - so that meant we did not advance to finals.  there was a lot of tough competition but we walked away feeling proud and determined to work on the feedback we got and make next week's show even better.

baby boy cookies

i got a referral order for 3 dozen baby shower cookies.  she knew the exact design she wanted - i just had to recreate it with my own spin.  once i found the "baby" cutter, the rest was easy.* * * * * * *

here is the inspiration photo.

percussion comp #2

this week's contest was even hotter than last week's - ugh!!  but the kids were real troopers.

they performed at 6:48 pm.

results were not great, but every performance is a learning experience.

volleyball cookies

i had a senior mom reach out to me with a request for 2 dozen cookies to celebrate her daughter's senior night volleyball game.  this gave me the perfect opportunity to try out my new class of 2024 cutter!  i also used my new scalloped name plaque for the first time.

percussion comp #1

 

little sister had the first of four drumline contests today - and it sure was a hot one!

their performance was at 2pm.

we placed 6th out of 10 bands, but there is still plenty of time in the season left to polish up the performance.
