How exciting. Ask her if she knows Matt R. when you write. He's very tall, blue eyes. Since he's in the musical division, I'm wondering if he might be doing drums since he was a percussionist in high school. Are you planning to attend PIR. We live in IL so it is easy for us to get to Great Lakes.
Hope you hear from your daughter soon. Let's keep each other posted.
Matt shared in his letter that I received today that he knows Christina! Sounds like he loves Div 924!
She did colorguard in high school with the band so I am assuming she is doing flags as she does not play and instrument, but is very familiar with marching in formation.Her name is Christina and she is 5'2 and bearly 100 lbs if that! We will definitely be at PIR. We live outside of Pittsburgh PA. Hope you hear from Matt soon too. Barb
My daughter is also on this ship/division. She's a trombone player, so I have no doubt she's in the band.
How exciting. Matt was a percussionist in H.S. Would suspect that they may have him on drums or cymbals. I'll friend you on this site so that we can keep in touch.
My daughter is also on this ship/division. May I ask, what is all the talk about being in band and playing instruments?
Thank you very much for that info. I guess I am still a little confused, because my daughter has never been in band or ROTC. hmmmmmmm, interesting!
