Mr. Marchese decided to have some portraits taken of his high school band students who are multi-curricular to use as a sort of advertisement for his elementary students to join band. One of the best things about Ridgeview is that students are able to do multiple activities because it is such a small school and coaches and directors work together to share their participants and are very flexible with schedules. When kids are in elementary school, they often think they can't stay in band or things other than sports in high school so they shouldn't bother to try it out in elementary school if they are determined to be in sports. That might be the case at some schools, but definitely not at Ridgeview. It is one of the reasons all 3 of our kids decided to stay at Ridgeview all through school and not try to get into the local university high school that is very competitive and focused. 

These students pictured are involved in basketball, football, wrestling, track, softball, volleyball, cheerleading, and more. I think these photos turned out pretty neat.

And, we have been continuing some ridiculous SnapChat filter photos lately...

Lol, Annah...Dad, aren't you at work?  Haha. Yes, yes, he was.
