Saturday was a beautiful Fall day for the Marching Chargers. The Chargers began the day with a cool morning practice. After practice, the Marching Charger students and families were treated to a "sit down" meal prepared by Mrs. Williams, one of our wonderful band moms. The fact is that she currently does not have a student in the band, but as with most of our band families, "Once a Marching Charger, always a Marching Charger" THANK YOU TO MRS. WILLIAMS FOR THE GREAT MEAL!!
The Northwood High School Marching Chargers completed their band competition season Saturday in front of a huge crowd at North Davidson High School.
Although the Chargers didn't carry home the 1st place trophy, they are still # 1 in our hearts and minds. The Marching Chargers have had a wonderful successful marching season. We couldn't be any more proud of these young adults than what we are!! Go Chargers!
Once again, Cottrell took top honors (3 rd WEEK IN A ROW!) in the director competition. Cottrell was named "Favorite Band Director" at North Davidson. It was no secret that we all knew that before Saturday's event was ever played out. Thanks Cottrell for a GREAT marching band season.
I have to give a special "Thank You" to Chris Hooft and Dickie Lassiter for taking care of the UNC Concessions Saturday. This allowed me to continue my streak of taking photos at every competition that the Marching Chargers have competed in since 2001. (see 2001 photo at top of blog) I am the one who has been blessed to get to know so many wonderful families over the years through the work of Mr. Cottrell and all the families of the Marching Chargers! THANK YOU AGAIN CHRIS AND DICKIE!
Congratulations to our Seniors for the hard work and dedication they have displayed this year. You have been superior leaders to all of the other Band members. It is amazing to thumb back through the photos from 2004 through 2007 and see how these students entered Northwood with the curious freshman look and have become confident young adult leaders. We love you and will miss you next season. You guys will always be special in the Marching Charger family.
Enough said for today. Once again, CONGRATULATIONS ON A GREAT MARCHING BAND SEASON. THANKS TO ALL INVOLVED THAT HELPS TO PUT THE SHOW ON THE ROAD. EVERYONE HAS DONE A GREAT JOB!!!
Enjoy the photos.

NOTE- I have to mention the NC State Band! They were marvelous!
