Crusaders in Annapolis

Nancy is in Baltimore for business this week and next, and was able to take some family and friends to the Drum Corps International show in Annapolis. She was able to drop off some Bergers Cookies (made and sold only in Baltimore) as a treat for the corps, and had a chance to talk briefly with Maddie and Caroline after their performance. See the pic below, click on it for full size.

Maddie and Caroline are in NH at Spring Camp. They felt the chill of an overnight frost. That's got to be a first for them in May for quite a long time. Below is a pic of Caroline in the food line. Click on the pic to see a larger size.

Erin's Graduation

Erin received her Honors College Medallion and Bachelor of Arts and Sciences degree on April 30th. She put in a lot of hard work, and completed her thesis. We are all very proud of her. She has been accepted to Florida State University's graduate school where she will begin studying for her Master's degree in Social Work in the fall.

FFCC Winterguard Champions

The Hagerty High School Altitude Blue took first place in the FFCC Winterguard Championships earlier this month. Here is their winning performance, with a few more close ups of Maddie and Caroline.

Winterguard Competition

Maddie and Caroline perform on the Hagerty High School Altitude Blue Winterguard. The school is only 4 years old, and the band and guard staff have been great in working with the kids to help them evolve in their skills and performances.

This is the first year for the "junior" guard (Altitude Silver) and they have been progressing each competition and came in 2nd in their class last week.

Altitude Blue has really come along, and has finished first in their class the past 3 competitions. We are really proud of Caroline and Maddie, their hard work is evident. See the video of the last performance in the video below.

Winter, be gone!

Except for Nancy, we are fighting off various illnesses and ailments. Can't wait for winter to be over. Meanwhile, a photo of the crew from the holidays.

Movie Update

The last 10 movies I've watched.

Happy New Year??

I'm cranky. It's due to a stiff neck. Can't turn more than 20 or 30 degrees to my right without having to turn my whole body.

Don't know what I did to get into this stiffness. Maybe 4 days of playing Rock Band 2, or just being an inanimate sludge since the day after Christmas??

I'll try exercising tomorrow, maybe that will help...
