Delta Band Review 9/24/11

.

It was a pretty good show, given the circumstances (first show, incomplete, practice etiquette troubles). No drops! Even though rifles were the only ones tossing, Aileen had a popped knee and both Ellen/Clarie had stubbed fingers. We didn't QUITE make it to the judges stand though...

Music sounded pretty awesome! Apparently they've played it better before, but I thought it was good. -shrugs-

Percussion - 5th overall (score = 89-ish?)
Auxiliary - 3rd in division (score = 51.5)
Band - 2nd in division (score = 86.9)

*****

On the way to comp, Ross was totally asleep in a window seat, and the funny thing was, if I looked towards the back of the bus (since I had a window seat too), I could totally see his head moving. =P

These new guard shoes are rather painful. The right one is fine, but by the time the comp was done, I had raw patches on the side of my foot and two toes, and a popped blister on another toe. Ouch. =[

I had fun talking to Toria/Peter/Ross/Giulio/Tony during lunch. Lots of random conversations and me telling Ross to stop studying. Seriously, he and Giulio brought textbooks to the comp... Such good kids...

Ross was passing out Icebreakers while we were in the bleachers waiting for awards, and I was like, "Can I have some sugar?" He closes the thing, and says, "Sorry, I don't have sugar," and points to the label on the Icebreakers container that says Sugar-free. It was a pretty good comeback. xD

Fell asleep on the ride back, so... Not much to talk about there. =]

All in all, it was a pretty awesome day. Time to get ready for the next comp now!
