Alyssa's First Marching Competition.

Yesterday we drove down to sunny Ashvegas for Alyssa's first ever marching competition. She has been training so hard and with all the changes behind the scenes, they got there! They weren't in competition uniform, (as the lady who took care of them until now was in hospital, but she is OK) there was a change to how many girls, at the last minute, but most of all they had their boots!!!! (They felt like little marching girls even if they weren't wearing what they were meant to be and had been told they would be wearing) They did look smart in their ties (Vegas theme)hats and trackies, but next time they will look soooo good! Their first big competition is over now, the worst is over, they can only get better!

A few pictures of Alyssa and Nara showing off their marching boots, The maze march (as a bit of fun for the girls at the end of the day), Alyssa in a display formation, Nara, giggling the day away.

A few pictures of Alyssa's team the Guardian Cathedral Superstars, in fall in, complements, and display.

Nara didn't march this weekend which was good as it made it all about Alyssa's first time in the sport she chose. Nara started cos she was there and 5 year old marchers are just, well, cute!!!! Although Nara's team did do important things like hand in judges scores to us in the recording room tallying up totals.

I am so proud of my big...wee...girl Alyssa, and love being able to enjoy this new experience with her. She was even breaking in her boots in more today after school, marching around the house, lol she is so damn cute sometimes! I just finished scrapping a page earlier that I will share tomorrow, after I can take photos in a better light. Its not of the weekend but they will be coming, my printer is playing up so I did try!! I will have to go and get them printed tomorrow (In my lunch break so I can start scrapping straight after work)
