On Saturday October 9, 2010 we attended the Seven Lakes High School (SLHS) in Katy Texas football game versus Strake Jesuit that was played at Rhodes Stadium as my wife's company was one of the game's sponsors. SLHS won its second game of the year by beating Strake but this blog is not about the football team. Seven Lakes Marching Band plus flag people gave another excellent performance at half time of this game. The Band had all that day competed in the Katy Marching Band Festival (See my blog http://activerain.com/blogsview/1895219/katy-4u-katy-isd-marching-band-festival-  ) and which was conducted during the morning and afternoon. All the members of the entire team had gotten up extremely early on that Saturday morning and essentially played all day and through part of the evening. That in itself was amazing to me and especially when you looked at the outcome.

The SLHS Marching Band, per my neighbor who we sat with during the game,  this year has two different routines to play and practice with one being at football games and the second for Band competitions. The performance we saw included two very difficult to play songs from a music standpoint from Queen. The band's marching and playing was EXCELLENTonce again. I have seen this group play several times over the years that SLHS has been in existence and I can not think of one time including all the early performances where this group gave a so so performance. The Strake band this evening was so so at best and played strictly to their own crowd.

Congratulations to the SLHS Marching Band for another year of really good performances and congratulations to all the Band members out there who work very hard with little to no publicity or attention by others.

The UIL State Marching Band Contest will be held on November 1-2, 2010 in San Antonio and I will write a separate blog about this event...
