Wills Point Texas Christmas Parade: The WPHS Band

I drove over to Wills Point, TX on Saturday to see my youngest son march in his first Christmas parade with the Wills Point High School Marching Band. I was really hoping to see my boy marching, and get a picture of him. It’s been years since I’ve been to… Listen ⇢
