Our proud band supporters

awww how pretty

warm up

So... theres a lot thats been going on lately. Lemme give you the run down =) so last week ish (i think) was homecoming. We had dress up days and all kinds of fun stuff but due to some technical difficluties, we will have to wait til a later day to to view pictures. It was super fun even though we lost our game but I will attempt again to post some pictures. BUT!!! Who really cares about homecoming when we have something much bigger on our hands? Like the CHS marching band going to STATE!!!! Yeah, go ahead and get excited. We all are. You can hop on that band wagon. Get it?? BAND wagon?? Yeah ok... so anyways... last Wednesday we competed at region and received a 1 (best you can get) so that advanced us to area, which we competed at last Saturday. We made it to finals and I got the inside scoop on the scores so I will fill you in if you promise to keep it a secret. There were 5 judges. The scoring works like this: Each judge will rank all the bands, like 1st, 2nd, 3rd and so forth. Then they will add up the rankings. So we will use.. lets say... Queen City for example. Out of 20 bands, one judge gave them 18th place, one 19th, place and the other 3 judges gave them 20th place. Then they would have a score of 97. Poor Queen City. bwahaha. So for our competition, the best score a band could receive was a 5. Clifton got a 5 at both prelims and finals. The next closest band had a 21. Meaning, there wasn't a band there that could touch us. Its a great feeling to have. So since we won area, us and 2 other bands advanced to state which will take place a week from today. We are the first band to march at 12:45 and we plan to set the standard for every other 2A band there. If we advance to finals, we will perform sometime after 6. Obviously the competition at state will be much different than at area but I am so excited and can barely wait for this weekend to get here. I think we have a shot at the state title this year which would be a first for Clifton history and I couldn't be more pumped. Hope to see your smiling faces there! Ill try to give more updates, and Ill try to shorten them to. I cant help that im longwinded. Its a Blanton thing, right?? =)

The Drowsy Chaperone

I most likely spelled that wrong but o well. So....last night was quite a night. Mom, Dad, and Leah came to Waco to go see the Baylor performance of "The Drowsy Chaperone" with me which I have to see for my theatre class. It was a great play (actually it was a musical and EVERYONE liked it....including dad) and i loved being with my family. Although there were a few mishaps, it was a great evening. Sorry there are no pictures but just know it was a great and fabulous night =)

Leah comes to Baylor....for the weekend =)

This past weekend Leah came to stay with me here at Baylor. We went to the Baylor game (which we completely dominated in!) and just spent some quality time together that was definately needed. She was able to come to church with me on Sunday and I was so glad to get to be in church with her again! Here are a few pictures to show how the weekend went. The sad faces are the pictures we took when the other team scored...the happy ones are when we scored and there are more of those =) Thank you so much for staying with me Leah! I love you!

Mail Time!

Here Brother. Say Hi!

HANNAH! What a sweet sister you are to send my kiddos a Get Well Soon card! You are too sweet. We all love you SO much! This past week was really rough on me and the kids. They are both not 100% but atleast they are sleeping through the night now! We are just back down to really runny noses and a cough for both of them. We can't wait to see you in a few weeks, then we can all give you a big hug for our sweet cards. Thanks again!

-Hope you are feeling better too Sarah!
