Isn't it lovely? Who would ever think they would find such loveliness at the Goodwill?? Me, apparently, as that's where we headed when we found out we needed a "white elephant" for the end-o-the-year band parent party. We found it waaaaay up at the top of the shelves where we were digging around for an hour or so--I swear Lucille heard our prayers to find something good.
So, off it went and was delivered to a well deserving, unsuspecting Sue, who had a death grip on that bad-boy all night. And when another parent tried to snag it, he got the evil death stare--and needless to say he went for the lame-o box of perfume instead. Yeah, the trophy is that good.
We honored Lucille Jordan by declaring it the new MVP Band Parent Traveling Trophy. Each year, it must be passed down to the outstanding band parent of the marching season. Tough to win? Certainly.
But even tougher to pry out of Sue's grip.

Love it!
Keep the muscles toned, too, lugging that baby from party to party.
That is so cool! It would be neat to know the history of Lucille!
How neat is that?
How cool!
That is so perfect. What a great find. Take care.
The Goodwill Gods were shining on you
That is so cool! Doesn't give you a high to actually find something you like and need at Goodwill?! Love it and Sue's death grip. LOL
Hope you added your name to the bottom so in future years they'll know who found that cool trophy and started the new tradition!
Well it IS a very handsome trophy. I would have bought that for my husband since he is a music maven. Turning it into a permanent traveling trophy was a brilliant idea. Hope you get it next year!
Hahahah...that's great!
gotta love goodwill :) cool trophy
Really puts trophies into perspective. I say Lucille must be exorcized from this before it's used further : ) Happy all Souls Day! Frans Dad
Awesome :) I love it!
Diana--Can you believe we found that??
Vanilla--Nothing like a wooden trophy! :)
Hot Rocks--Joe tried googling, but found nothing. :( We are all intrigued.
Chuck--Isn't that a hoot?! We didn't want to give it up!
6 Feet under--Hi, new pally!!
Marg--Yeah, what luck, eh? We hated to part with it. :(
Pricilla--Or Lucille. :)
Petula--Oh, man! That Sue is NOT gonna let it go!!
Beaded Tail--We wrote the band name and the new purpose of the trophy. It will be interesting to see how far it travels.
Grace--Yeah, no kidding! Joe really wants it back.
Nancy--We couldn't believe our luck to find that beauty!
Ann--We brought a box of trophies there once and the guy said they can't keep them in stock. Now I know why!! I guess they are fun to pass on.
Fran's Dad--Oh, we are making Lucille proud, Mike. I hope she doesn't haunt us!
Stephanie--How can you not???! :D It's hilarious that it is wooden!!
I did a quick Google search for Lucille Jordan, but unfortunately found nothing relevant. If there is nothing else that shows who she, this is a good way to remember a person who at one time was worthy enough to get her name on a trophy.
What a great find and a very cool idea to pass it around to the MVP of the year! I love it!
Ratty--Joe did the same thing. I think Lucille is waaayyy before Google, but her name lives on with the ABS band parents! :)
Karen--We are always trying to have some new fun as band parents, so I think if Sue ever parts with that darn thing, it can be a hoot to pass on.
