Calling all freshman marching band parents! 🎺💛 Here’s one little tip I’m SO glad another band parent shared with me when we were starting out.When you attend marching band competitions, check for an event merchandise table! Some competitions sell event patches and other merch, and those patches make such cute keepsakes from each competition your kid performs at. Later, when they earn their letterman jacket, you can even sew the patches onto it. 🥹I’m sharing this based on our experience with marching band competitions here in Oklahoma, so every event and state may be different. But it’s definitely worth checking!And to all the new freshman band parents—welcome to the band family! ❤️ You're about to make so many memories.#MarchingBand #BandParents #BandMom #MarchingBandMom #FreshmanParents #BandCompetition #SportsMomLife #DearLyndsey #HighSchoolBand #MarchingBandTips_________________________________________________________________________________(affiliate link) https://www.amazon.com/shop/influence...Social butterfly:  Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dearlyndseywebsite: https://ko-fi.com/dearlyndseyTwitter: https://twitter.com/DearLyndsey09Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DearLyndsey09/Istagram: https://www.instagram.com/dear_lyndse...LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/dearlyndseyPintrest: https://www.pinterest.com/dearlyndsey/boards/
