Northern Lights Homeschool Band
Patriotic Parade Sequence:
National Emblem:
 |
| Saturday was our fourth parade this summer. Our band was in the Sparta, MI. parade. We used their bleachers to take this years band photo. |
 |
| There are over two hundred students in the marching band this year. There was an announcer describing the band as we marched through the center of town, and she said that we are the largest homeschool band in the United States. She also shared that there are three other homeschool bands---but, I don't know where they are located. It is nice to know there are other homeschool bands out there! |
 |
| It is hard to capture their dance routine in photo's, but this picture does a little. |
 |
| Here is Dd marching along! |
 |
| I always show the front, older color guard, so this week I wanted to focus on the younger color guard that brings up the rear. |
 |
| This picture shows the comparison between a Tenor Sax and Dd's smaller Alto Sax. Dd is on the right side, playing her sax. |
 |
| After the actual parade, the band performed a "special" music program dedicated to patriotic songs. I'm not sure who the special was planned for, but, all of us parents and families really enjoyed our special show. Dd had been practicing for weeks, learning the new material. It was one of my old Fleur de Lis Girls Camp songs: This is MY Country...Land of my birth...This is MY Country...grandest on earth!... |
 |
| These six fellow's were jamming up a storm before the parade. It was really great hearing them enjoy music so much. |
