Zach Captain and Elvis Tribute Concert

This week, Zach was captain of the football team.  Today, Zach got to go out on the field with his club for the coin toss, and he was pretty excited.

After the game, we got cleaned up and went to Sarah’s and Brittany’s Elvis Tribute Concert at Metea.  The Marching Band performed with a live band singing Elvis songs.  It was very similar to the Billy Joel Tribute Concert that they had last year.  They had a blast!  The lead singer of the band was outstanding!  He is a well-known Broadway performer that is in downtown Chicago for a show.  It was really cool that they could get him to take time to come out and perform!

We went up early so the boys could say hi to Sarah and Brittany.  Zach wanted a picture of him in Sarah’s band jacket, so she obliged.  🙂

When the concert started, the band played their entire halftime show through.  It sounds really cool in the auditorium!  As usual, they did an outstanding job!  🙂

Then the marching band turned the time over to the tribute band who played Elvis songs for about an hour!  The band members jumped up and danced with each other, swayed to the music, and made everybody in the crowd laugh.  It’s great to see how many friendships the kids make with each other during the marching season!  At the end of the concert, the band came up on stage and everyone played together.  It sounded awesome!

When the concert was over, the girls found the lead singer and just had to get their picture taken with him.  🙂  Kirstyn even joined in the fun!

Great job girls!  Way to play!
