What a Champion looks like!


He is home... taken with in minutes of his arrival.

Sporting his Gold Medal and his "Body by Drum Corp"... as he said.


This experience has turned him brown... all though Jordan has never been white.   He has also managed to rid himself of any baby fat he was still holding on to.
Through this experience he has whittled down 33 lbs.   Yes, folks... he is a mere skin and bones, clothes just hanging on him.   

Now he has a few days to get his AP summer homework done.  Complete his BYU online Spanish 2 class.   Then it is HS Band.  This will be a breeze for him!   

He will not be playing the Trombone this year, but will be playing the Tuba... as he did for the Blue Devils.  Multi-Talented he is.  

He is SO my Son!   Love him!

They Did It!

Blue Devils B Corp are the new reigning Open Class World Champions.

Jordan and his Dad at the Colt Stadium in Indianapolis, ID.

(I look at the picture... and think... that kid can't leave for 2 1/2 weeks without needing a serious haircut!)

A must see video... the Blue Devils Basking in the light of their win!

Life on the Road for a Rock Star.


I did talk to Jordan yesterday... he was sorry he has not called or texted me.  But in all actuality he has been very busy and homesickness is not an issue for him.  All those years we have been sending him away are paying off.  One day he will leave for college and we will never hear from him again.


A little taste of what it is like to be a Rock Star.  

Housing... school gymnasiums.   Bring your own pad and bedding.

No site seeing for this crew.  When they are not eating, sleeping, or performing.... they are practicing over and over and over.  The price you pay to be #1.

Where the food is prepared and served... right out of the rolling kitchen.   No meals are eaten at restaurants, fast food.  They are home cooked right here.  Last night it was Spaghetti and the fixings with brownies straight from the oven.   Tonight it was BBQ Chicken... cooked on the large grill, stuffing and peas.   Stars... must be feed like stars to perform like stars!

Age of Electronics requires a plug. 
 Hey, can I use your electronic outlet strip?
