Saturday evening the corps Hornline performed a few chorales for the New Hampton School Alumni Reunion. The pictures are courtesy of Karen D. After the performance, the reaminder of the evening was a free nite for all members. Most made the pilgrimage to the Subway or ordered a pizza for delivery. A few were treated to a dinner out by alumni or friends and family. A few caught up on dot book entry or sleep. Everyone was back at the schedule first thing on Sunday morning.
Sunday began looking like an excellent day--overcast and cool but no rain. After lunch, the wind picked up to storm strength as a severe frontal system raced across New England. Our re-ballasted pop-up tent canopies survived but one of the large rental tents used by the reunion party took off and ended up on top of the school roof. The winds gusted up to 45 MPH and the temperature dropped thru the 50's. By the last show run through at 8:30, the temp was about 48 with a wind chill well below that with NW winds still at 20 MPH.Today, the morning dawned crisp and clear after frost and freeze warnings overnite. It has quickly warmed up into the 60's and a full schedule of outdoor visual and ensemble rehearsals is in progress.
Lots of guard pictures are here today again courtesy of Karen D. and todays lunch line photos by me. Breakfast this morning was egg casserole, cereal, etc. Dinner last nite was stuffed pork chops, scalloped potatoes, and veggies. A special treat at lunch today was chocolate milk.
We missed a day of posting because the high winds took out the school server room a/c unit and caused the network system to go offline.
Last nite's show run through included everything through the ballad. despite the cold, there are enthusiastic whoops and hollers when the final run of the day is called--
More later,
Curt
