Today, three of our traction members competed in the State FFA Contests at Purdue University.
Jarob Bramlett and Ivy Walker competed in Talent. Jarob played drums while Ivy played guitar. Along with two other FFA members, Jarob and Ivy composed a list of 4 songs and played them for multiple judges in a span of 15 minutes. The songs were as follows: Marry Me -Bruno Mars, If I Die Young -The Band Perry, Arlington -The Twilight, and Take Me Down To The Little White Church -Little Big Town.
Needless to say, the performance was very enjoyable; I'm sure Ivy and Jarob cannot wait to find out results on Wednesday. (though they should not be too worried......they sounded better than professionals!)

Also, Kelli Morton competed today in Ag Issues with 4 other FFA girls. The debate topic was "Should Your Career Be In Agriculture?" Questions by the judges followed. After a few late night practices and some team
tears, the performance went pretty well.
Although we will not find out the official results until Wednesday, we did find out that both the Ag Issues team and the FFA Talent made it into the top 4! Hopefully we can say "Nationals here we come" after Wednesday :)
The most amazing part of today that I noticed was that we prayed as a whole at the beginning of the day as well as individual teams before our competitions. Sometimes, it is not the easiest thing to do, but the power of prayer is AMAZING!
Great Job FFA Members!!!!!!!
