game day

i have never anticipated a football game as much as the one tomorrow. we had a good run this morning (the days of rehearsing for six hours between thursday morning and game time are gone) so we should be all right. i'm just curious to see all the other elements that make up a game night in small town texas. we are away so i'm sure it will only be a prelude to the madness of a home game.

rain?

after 48 days in the lone star state it actually rained. i'm just wondering what kind of effect it will have on things looking like this.

storms are in the forecast for the next few days, hopefully we can dodge it during rehearsals.

on a roll

we finished the drill for part one on wednesday. steve has written another gem (which is usually the case when he digs the music). the horn line is really starting to throw down and hopefully will continue to do so.

tomarow jason and i are going on the hunt for a semi trailer part two. a few weeks ago he drove past a pair of them in killeen just sitting in a field. last weekend we located the owner and are supposed to get inside of them to see of they are worth pursuing further.

it's still in the 100's and high 90's but the mornings have been a little cooler. we even had a few clouds this week.

preview show

we put on a show of our whopping 10 sets of drill monday. ten seems like a small number for a preview show but this band has never started drill this early so everyone was quite thrilled. unfortunatly monday was the first day of athletic two-a-days so rehearsal was not the most productive we have had. the last few days have been filled with ever popular new teacher training and meetings. we start school on the 14th and i'm looking foward to getting back to a regular schedule.

on a separate issue, if you need a distraction check this out.
