Matthew, the High School Marching Band Boy :-)

Just a few 'Proud Parents' pictures of our boy doing what he loves, playing the trumpet in the High School Band!  We're very blessed to have a great Band Instructor at our Middle School, who happens to also teach Band at the High School.  He gave the kids who want to do it the option of being a part of both Bands :-)

Matthew is an extremely dedicated trumpet player, and boy does he continue to just get better and better! 

The Marching Band Boy Part 2!

Matthew was in the Annual Fillmore Christmas Parade today - it was so cool to see him marching down the street with 97 other members of the Fillmore Middle School Marching Band!  Here are a few pictures of that boy who is growing up waaaay too fast ...

This first picture is of the whole group marching ...

Now the boy ...

And our Fillmore Parade would not be complete without ...

a bright yellow hummer owned by our local Edison's Up in Arms (the storefront says 'guns, ammo, gifts').  Yup, our local gun shop!

Next, we had 14 of these (but I only included a few pictures) ...

Gotta love this local parade!

And, last but not least ...

Santa on the Fillmore Fire Department's Fire Truck!

It was an awesome parade - good job Fillmore!

The Marching Band Boy!

Tomorrow, Matthew will be in his very first parade as a member of Fillmore Middle School's Marching Band!  Here's a preview shot of him in his 'uniform' (sadly, they don't have enough band uniforms, so they had tshirts made up).  I'd say he looks pretty sharp!

And, he's going to be in the Winter Concert next week - for that he has to wear a tie!

Check him out in these preview shots!

 

I'd say that boy dresses up pretty well!
