WOW!

Orlando is behind us and we are here in Alabama en route to Ocean Springs, MS. Orlando was a tremendous success. I simply cannot describe the emotion that overwhelmed the corps on the field as they first came out of the tunnel. The roar that came from the crowd was so loud we couldn't hear each other during the pit roll-on. The kids were beyond words and responded with an awesome show.

Dozens of you came around to say "Hi" and to tell me you read this blog--thank you. The dinner and after glow at the bowl were a huge party and everyone had a great time.

We managed to bump our scores again last nite in Ft Walton Beach and are now working toward the showdowns in San Antonio.

In general, our housing has been much better than we experienced last season. Today, we are housed in a brand new church building that was never occupied--then acquired by the high school. Daphne HS--high school of our snare line leader, Angela. The site is superb--4-5 stars for sure. The local support group and school administrators arranged for breakfast and lunch as well so the kitchen staff had a bit of a break.

For a change, the weather is beautiful today--clear and hot--less humidity. We also are on a string of rather short runs between venues so I might be able to catch up a little on the pix and stuff.

The corps is getting healthy and we're cleaning feet, as the visual staff says--on to the regionals in San Antonio!
