Meredith Willson would’ve been proud. Between the UI’s homecoming parade on Friday night and the high school marching band competition that took place one block from our house on Saturday, Ava had her fill of drums, tubas, and flutes over the weekend. What’s more, the girls in the flag corps gave me a great opportunity to test out the 75-300 lens I borrowed from my neighbor.
Ava danced around on the school lawn while I took photographs. It was a gorgeous day to be out, but it was windy, and the gusts were really giving the flag girls a hard time. The flags would go up all right, but where they’d come down was anyone’s guess. I don’t know how this came out during the competition; maybe the wind wasn’t as strong down in the football stadium.
