San Antonio, TX (90.025)

We broke 90! Tonight was a great show... We got to perform last and we played America the Beautiful with the Cavaliers. It was really exciting being on the field when they announced SCV, Bluecoats, Cadets, Phantom Regiment and THEN us! Not to mention we are only .95 behind the Cavaliers right now!

It was really cool going last tonight because as we walked towards the Alamodome, there was complete silence. No other corps were warming up and it was just us and our fans. As we walked out of the airlock, we could all tell that everyone in the dome was sitting on the edge of their seats waiting to see what all the talk about the Creme Team from South Carolina was about. While we were performing, I felt like I was in a dream world... There were weird sounds bouncing around the stadium and it was very difficult to lock in at times.

I am perfectly content with taking the Bronze medal for now... We performed our hearts out and we got credit for what we did. We need to take these next 20 days and improve as much as we can! Anything can happen...

Tomorrow we have a San Antonio free day! I really hope that I get to see Dark Knight (Batman) at the IMax... It should be a good time.

Off to bed...
Later days,
Patrick

Got to watch San Antonio from the comfort of a big conference room at my brother's company in Madison, Wisconsin. Big screen and big sound!

What a fantastic performance. No doubt about it. Cadets got 5th, that's ALWAYS a good thing.

Do you know if this is the first time you've beat Phantom?

Hi, I saw your show in San Antonio, and I was just wondering if that is indeed Hungarian Rhapsody that the tubas are playing after Claire de Lune. We were laughing our butts off cause our band played Claire for our ballad this year and hungarian for our closer, and our drum major is in Crown (Katie Rozacky). Tell her Jenny says hi for me, please!
