Sunday: Laundry and other things I wasn't able to do during the week.
So that's been my life for the past 3 weeks or so. We've done 4 contests so far this year, and have two left. I have this weekend off, though, and plan to do absolutely nothing all day Saturday, thanks very much.
So to recap the past few weeks...the football team continues undefeated. Our last 2 contests were a lot tougher than the ones we went to before...these are more along the lines of Bands of America than like an FBA kind of contest. We scored Superiors, but didn't win our class. We competed against Ft. Walton Beach, Daphne, E.D. White Catholic, and various other exceptional bands, so it's not like we sucked...it was still very disappointing. We did qualify for state, and actually are going on as the first band after the last break...all in all NOT a bad place to be.
We've learned a lot from the past two weeks, though. We've changed a lot with the guard, and are adding about a dozen new GE moves. We scored through the ROOF in music, but the visual part of the score dragged us down. Actually, we scored less than a point lower than Escambia did in music 2 weeks ago, and then got the same score as friggin Choctaw this past week. That's a big, HUGE deal. ...sigh...so close, you know what I mean?
So...our first play-off game is this week, and as our record is apparently SOOOO much better than the other team's. I'm slightly worried about the game following that one...we're supposed to leave Friday during the day to head to Tampa for state competition. If the game is between P'cola and Tampa we're good to go. If it's at HOME, then we have to spend the night on the bus and perform the following day. NOT my idea of a good time.
Anyway, that's been me the past few weeks. I need to go get dinner started...I'll try to post again soon! |
