All State Band 2

 I received some All-State pictures from Ms Tordi.  She is the Meigs Middle School Band Director, and she was nice enough to forward these to us  First, here is a nice one of Bode, Grace (the other Meigs student that made All-State), and Ms Tordi.

This next one is funny.  It is of Grace and Bode, and Ms Tordi was trying to get Bode to smile.  You can see her foot in the frame :-)  What's also hilarious is Bode is in the SAME SHIRT that he was wearing when Ms Tordi took pictures of him when he made All-State and All-County.

Ms Tordi took some pictures during the concert.  The picture better shows the size of the all-state band.

The concert was professionally recorded.  They had two large video screens that showed different members of the band during the concert.  Whenever Bode or Grace was on the screen, Ms Tordi snapped a picture.  Below are seven pictures of Bode in action.

Bode's trumpet teacher, Mr Van Dam, was also at the conference.  He took this nice picture of him and Bode afterwards.  Mr Van Dam works with Bode every week, and Bode's achievements are the fruits of a lot of effort from both Mr Van Dam and Ms Tordi.

Big Steeler game tonight against the Chiefs; here's hoping this is NOT Big Ben's last game :-)
