Band Tour 2009

Here are some pictures of Band Tour! We left Friday the 20th and got home on the 25th. We were suppose to leave on the 19th, but the bus was broken, so we were delayed a day. It was actually God's grace that they found the problem when they did, because it could have been very dangerous for us. We traveled to Denver and performed at a school there. We also got to eat at Cosa Bonita, a huge Mexican restaurant, and see Phantom of the Opera. We then traveled to Salt Lake City, where we performed at anoher school and went to an NBA game. We also got a tour of the Mormon Tabernacle. It was interesting, I must say! The time went by really fast, and we spent many hours on the bus, but overall it was a great experience! Plus we got to miss school:)

Here are what the pictures are of:

1) Me, Heidi Cross, and Kayla Bullock in the shopping area of Salt Lake City

2)Heidi Cross and I after Phantom of the Opera (it was incredible!)

3)Me, Heidi, and Mr. Cross out to lunch after church on Sunday in the mall area of Denver. Mr Cross' friends from college took us to a really good Italian restaurant. We went to church at Cherry Hills that morning.

4)Me, Kayla, Heidi, Austin, Josiah, and Kyle eating at Cosa Bonita

5)Me and Heidi on the bus. We spent about 35 hours on the bus over the whole trip! There were some crazy games of Catch Phrase and Mad Gab and Go Fish! Heidi was my seat buddy.

Basketball pics!

Basketball is done:(

Well, after four years of high school basketball, i'm done. Our last game was on Friday against Eureka. We played really well, but they beat us by six points. It was disappointing, but i'm glad we ended on a good game. In divisionals, we lost to T falls, beat St. Ignatious, then lost to Eureka. I am so proud of my team for making it as far as we did. Now on to the next thing...senior recital!

DIVISIONALS!!

We're going to divisionals for the first time since Valley has been back in the MHSA!! I am so excited! We beat Deerlodge on Wednesday, lost to Loyola on Thursday, beat Darby on Friday, and lost in the consolation game against Deerlodge on Saturday by two points. I sprained both of my ankles and wasn't able to play in the game yesterday, which was really hard. My dad has been doing some intense rehab with me so I will be ready to go next Wednesday. We're playing Thompson Falls first, which is really exciting for us. Jason Reimer, their coach, was my coach freshman year. I hope we can beat them. Either way, I'm really excited that we made it!

Loyola Game

We only lost by 12 points to Loyola, but it was such an amazing game! We were ahead by like 6 or 7 points in the second quarter and at half time were down by two. It was crazy. Tomorrow we play Deerlodge again, and I think we're ready to make a big statement!
