May 5 - Yule Ball

On Friday, the symphonic band went to the Opera House at the University of Houston to perform and record their UIL music. The recordings are going to be submitted to a recorded band competition in June, competing against other middle schools across the US called 'National Wind Band Honors.' Not sure when the results will come out but cool opportunity. 

Immediately after coming back from the band recording, Luke rushed home, ate dinner, changed into his new suit and headed back to school for the end of year dance, the "Yule Ball." A teacher told him that he and Shawn were the best dressed ones there (they were the only ones in suits). After the dance, Luke and Riley headed to Cheesecake Factory with some friends from school and had dessert. It was a busy but fun Friday for Luke!
