Maddy was up and out the door by 5am this morning. Her Jazz band is competing with other bands from all over Iowa in Des Moines today. Her band always meets for breakfast before they leave on a competition trip. But wow... at 5:10am? Robb wanted to know why he has to drive her for the early mornings... I guess getting up that early just doesn't agree with me.I left the house at 7 and got to Des Moines' convention center by 8 or so in time to hear them play. They were wonderful and I got lots of pics. However Maddy wanted batteries for her camera for the rest of the day so I had to give her mine... Otherwise I'd show you them. really.
The band got a standing ovation at the end! I think it was mostly the parents of the kids that started it, but still! She won't find out how they placed until 5pm or so today. If they placed really high, then they'll perform again on stage this evening. So instead of getting home around 10pm, it will be closer to midnight. YAWN!
Hopefully Robb can pick her up...

Good luck to Maddy! Sounds like a late night tonight.
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that she places high-- but I know the real "high" was that standing-O... what a memory!

Oh how I remember those competions from high school. Oh how I hated the day after those competions because it meant that I was going to school with very little sleep. Hope all is good tomorrow.
I was a band geek and remember all about those competitions! They are nerve-wracking to kids. I will have to wait a few more years before the tables are turned and I am sitting in the audience instead of performing.
What a long day, but congrats to her!
Hope the competition went well and that Maddy gets some SLEEP!lol
Sounds like a long day! Good luck to her - I hope things go well...what a talent you have there! (And what a great hubby!)
This sounds like a loooong day! I'm sure things went great (and I'm sure you're still asleep right now!)

And i don't blame you for not wanting to get, I'm so not a morning person!
