Warrenton, VA (93.400)

Today was a pretty short day. The staff realized that we were tired and they let us sleep in until 10am! Once we got out to rehearsal, there was tons of overcast and not much sun. The field was really rough, but we pushed through. For some reason there were hundreds of people visiting our rehearsal and an NBC news crew that did a news segment on us. The school was in West Virginia and was called Mussellman Middle School... So if you live in that area, look out for it on TV or try and check it out on the internet! We ended up finishing rehearsal early today because of rain. (Carolina Cloud strikes again...)

Tonight's show was kind of wierd. Most everyone in the music ensemble felt like we had a bad show... but the staff was pleased with our performance and our score went up. I think it just felt that way because the stadium was small and there wasnt much crowd reaction. Ive done that show 3 times and I can remember it being like that every time...

We played America the Beautiful with the Blue Knights tonight and we beat the Cadets again! Now we are only 1.45 behind the Blue Devils for 1st place... Anything can happen in the 9 days that we have left...

Off to bed...
Later days,
Patrick
