The DeSoto Central High School Band participated in a national marching competition this weekend in New Orleans, LA and won FIRST PLACE! They will be performing their show during the halftime of the LSU vs Ohio State game which will be on FOX tonight at 7:30.

The Percussion section also won FIRST PLACE!

Below are some pictures from the competition this weekend in New Orleans. They will arrive home later Tuesday evening.

Lizzy and her friends did this while we were at dinner.

Phoebe looks sad. She got her first haircut but at least we can see her eyes now. The groomer shaved her way to close and Holden is trying to hide her body in this picture.

Keep rubbin…that is gonna take a while.

This was a school project of Holden’s. He had to invent something and then make a commercial about it. His invention was a paint brush with a paint key built into the handle. Patent Pending

Merry Christmas! Check out this short video of Holden playing part of the song he is writing. He is playing on his new Ibanez RG120 that he got for Christmas. Pretty impressive if you ask me (but I’m biased). That is his little sister yelping in the background while playing a video game.
