Salem, VA (93.250)

Today was a very interesting day. The rehearsal was pretty grueling... It was hot and humid the entire day. The field that we rehearsed on was practically dirt and sand. Also, we stayed at a church that was across the street from the school that we rehearsed at. It was a pretty long walk to the fields and almost everyone was late to rehearsal. By the end, everyone was tired, sweaty, and dirty.

Historically, Salem has been my favorite show of the year. Every year, there is a dog show that goes on while the drum corps show is there. It is great fun to see all of the dogs!

This year, the show definitely lived up to its expectations! I had an amazing show... I would even go as far as to say that it was 'magical'... Apparently everyone else had a great show too. I was very glad that most of the things that we had worked on since our last show had improved too. It feels great to finally get more credit for our hard work.

Tomorrow we are in Warrenton, VA... Hopefully it wont be as hot as today...
Later days,
Patrick

P.S. - 10 days left as of midnight...

Man, it's friggin' humid here in Indiana. Don't know what kind of luck finals is going to have with that sort of thing.

Top 4 is sort of up in the air right now. I think any of the top four shows (Cavaliers, BD, Phantom, Crown) could win so we'll have to see! Though I'm incredibly biased towards the Cavaliers, I would not at all be unhappy if Crown either A.) Beat the Cavaliers and/or B.) Won DCI finals.

Good luck the next couple days.
