In another month Grace's Junior year will have ended and she will technically be a (rising) Senior. I hope her Senior year is more normal than the last couple of classes have had their Senior years be. By all measures, it looks like it will be.
Come what may, we have already gotten some good news. A dozen or more rising Seniors applied for the various marching band leadership roles for the 2021-2022 school year, and Grace was one of three selected to be Drum Majors. So a goal that she set for herself before she even walked in the door in her freshman year has been achieved.
I'm proud. And honestly, relieved. Having been a Field Major last year, she had the inside track on being selected Drum Major, but nothing is ever certain, and she would have been extremely disappointed if she didn't get this. But she did. So she is thrilled and therefore so are me and Amp.
Circumstances permitting, we are planning for a normal summer of band activities, including two weeks of full-day band camp in August. Fingers crossed, this will all happen. In the meantime, Grace can go into the summer happy.
