Newton had it's home opening football game last night (We beat Olney 28-19). It was the first time the band performed any of the drill for their show and most importantly, the first time the new uniforms were worn. We passed out shoes, plumes, gloves and gauntlets at 5:00 yesterday evening, so it was the first time the kids had even had the entire uniform on. They are really snazzy and make a big impact just by the kids turning one way or the other.
On a side note, of course, we used to live in Olney. One of Olney's key players was Gabe McVaigh. Gabe was one of Robert's best friends when we lived at Olney. Gabe is 6'2". It was a little remarkable to see that little boy he should be out there doing such a good job playing football.
