The greatness of the Wakeland Marching Band cannot be overstated so for 5 full days in early November Taylor was off to San Antonio to compete, alongside her teammates, against the best High School programs Texas has to offer! The 2 competitions were "Bands Across America" and "UIL 5A State Championship." We headed South to take in the competitions, enjoy the weather, and explore the city!

Around the Alamo were some great attractions so we headed to Ripley's Illusion Lab & Wax Museum

The basement was reserved for Villians & Haunted House - Mom & Jordan made such a ruckus that the Manager joined the party and threw them a scare
We always seem to be crossing paths with Predators

Monday & Tuesday we headed to the Alamodome for the action
We were excited to check out the 30-year-old facility

Wakeland proudly made the finals of Bands Across America (13th) and finished 3rd in the 5A State Championship - now a chance to celebrate, reflect, and rest...
...but no rest for the weary - 3 days after returning from San Antonio, the Marching Band was performing in the Frisco Veterans Day Parade!!!
