Murray! YAY!

wow... It's been awhile since I posted. Anyways, band stuff! Friday was our homecoming. The band peoples left before it all started (thank you!) at 5. We rode to Murray, KY, and had practice in the amazing college stadium from 7 to 11. It was great! The only part I don't like about that stadium is the echo and the "turf turds". Yeah, that's right. Turf turds. ha ha! The stadium is astroturf so when you march, you get those little black rubber pieces in your shoes, also known as turf turds ^^ Practice was great that night and we were all confident about the next day. We headed to the hotel (Baymont; they have no elevator) where we ordered pizza and our room stayed up until 1:20.

We got up around 7, ate at Ryan's about 8, and went to the stadium to stretch around 9:30ish. Our performance was amazing! Like, the best show of the season so far. We went to Ryan's again for lunch where we had a great time playing with gummy bears!!

Yeah, we're nerds. That's sets of drill. hahaha! It was so much fun, though.

Awards ceremony for prelims, we won FIRST PLACE IN AA CLASS!!! That was so exciting! We 10 pointed Trigg county!! We came in 7th overall, only 4 points behind Muhlenberg!

When our time for finals came up, we went to warm-ups, got all ready and went to the gate. The sky was dark in the distance and lightning was flashing every few minutes way off. We decided to go on anyways. We marched on typically, then ran to opening set to save time. The opener was suck-ish :( I was disappointed with myself for that. We got 1/2 way through the ballad, and got called off the field. I could just imagine sitting in the stands watching that. lol, nice, slow music, then suddenly everyone is running off the field! We got to sit in the Racer lounge while we waited to see if it would blow over. Unfortunately, they had to cancel, but we were still happy with our 1st place in prelims! We drove home, and I slept laid out over 1 1/2 seats ^^ I got home around 1. I'm tired :) hah!
