Just a quick little note so that you have some idea why there are so many YouTube uploads of a high school band. Daniel started band this year in grade 7. Now that we are all past the shock that my little boy is in grade 7, we can move on. HE LOVES IT. He has been playing the Clarinet and also the Saxophone. Next year he is taking band as one of his options and hopes to get into the Honors Band. Nana and Papa came out to Onoway and got to enjoy the Grade 7 band concert with Claire and I. It was really great and Daniel is doing very well at it.Thursday, June 10, 2010

Claire Skis the Berkie
For the 2nd week in a row, Claire bundled up and Skied the Birkebeiner. The weather was less than Stellar, but she went for it anyway!!! The night before and just before the race, a ton of wet, squishy snow fell, making the well groomed trails not so well groomed. Claire skied 5 kms, but he skiing coach did the full race of 55 kms with a 5.5 kg pack strapped to his back. Mr. Dunn said it was the hardest Berkie he had completed in a long time.
People like to dress up for the Birkie. This is a clown waiting at the start line.
