Last Game and Trunk or Treat!

Today was Zach’s last football game.  He was sad that the season was over.  We as the coaches are kind of relieved but we will really miss the kids.  It’s been a fun season! Tonight we had our Ward’s Trunk-or-Treat activity.  Everyone got dressed up in their costumes and we went to eat some food,

Metea Marching Band Banquet

Tonight was the Marching Band Banquet for Metea.  As usual, the food and entertainment were great!  The skits the kids put on to make fun of themselves were pretty funny, although 90% of the stuff they did was “you had to be there” things.  The directors were honored and the seniors were as well.  It

Brittany in Fall Orchestra Concert

Tonight, Brittany had her fall Orchestra concert and it was awesome!  They played some pretty difficult pieces.  We really love the Metea auditorium.  It has great acoustics.  They really put a lot of work in to designing it well. It also helped that we have extra babysitters to stay at home with the boys so

Sarah in Fall Band Concert

Tonight, Sarah had her fall band concert at Metea in the auditorium.  She did a GREAT job playing her flute and piccolo.  It’s really cool that she was asked to play both in the concerts.  They played some really nice music. At this level, they play more than just typical marches that you would expect
