From band to the baseball field and back again. B From band to the baseball field and back again.

Big day yesterday with 1s in both band competitions and a 2-0 day on the field. 

Today didn’t go the way we wanted on the diamond, but that’s a big part of the game.

Full disclosure: it is a lot more fun when we win, though. 🙃 Grateful for these boys and this team to grow with.
