(at the end of a VERY long game day!)Last weekend marked the end of our high school football team's season and, thus, the end of marching band season. Our football team went undefeated through the entire regular season and then continued all the way through the post-season to the semi-final playoff game! It was truly incredible! They fought hard and did such a tremendous job. However, in the end, it just wasn't meant for our team to make it one more week to the State Championship. We were really hoping and praying they would because we really wanted to see our team play and our band march in The Georgia Dome!
It was a very bittersweet weekend for our middle daughter, Mo - and for her parents, too! Mo is a senior this year, which means the loss last weekend marked the end of what has been a very important and exciting part of her life.
(Mo, in the middle, with her c0-drum majors this year)When Mo started marching her freshman year, she was still very much a shy, reserved little girl still trying to find her place in the whole scheme of things. At the end of that school year, a 6 week drum major clinic was held in order to replace the current drum major who would soon be graduating. Plus, the band was growing so they were going to be choosing two.

(Mo on the left as a sophomore)Although Mo would just be a graduating freshman, and it is highly unusual for an upcoming sophomore to be chosen, she faithfully went to the clinic and then auditioned for the highly coveted leadership position. Just a few days before school ended, Mo found out she and one other person had been selected! My, how fast things change!
We are so proud of her and we can't wait to see what the future holds!
We love you, MoMo!

Hi dear Teresa,
I've been away for a while, and I'm glad to be back at visiting my friends' blogs.
It was so nice to read this post about Mo. Sorry to hear about the team not making it, but I hope and pray Mos career as a drum major will not end. My daughter was part of the drum majors in her gradeschool years. It is so much fun.
Thanks for shaing this story and the pictures as well. I wish your daughter all the best and the future is bright for her! I am sure you are very proud of her!
Love
Lidj

What a terrific tribute to your daughter -- what did she think of this post? The pictures are great, and I think I should use the one with her arms outstretched as an inspirational poster around here. Great to see a young woman develop confidence and leadership ability. And she is absolutely beautiful as well.
Wow!! That is such an incredible accomplishment for your daughter! You must be so proud. :)
Congrats to her on the upcoming graduation!
And thank you for stopping by my blog. :) Lovely place you have here!
What a great post! Your daughter is beautiful. I know you are so proud of her. I pray that my only daughter grows into a confident young woman who is a leader and not a follower, and one who loves the Lord with all her heart. You should be proud-you have obviously done a great job as parents!
Thanks for the comment on my blog! The SITS community seems really fun!
Oh the Qtips on the hats take me back quite a few years. Congratulations to her for her accomplishments! She is a beautiful young lady!!!

Teresa,
What a beautiful post honoring your daughter's transition from shy to confident. It sounds like she knows exactly what she wants in the future too. Good for her! That's wonderful. (I have a feeling her supportive mother deserves some of the credit for her thriving so). Great pictures!
