From San Antonio

The coprs has had a busy and successful three days. First in Houston, then, Friday night in Dallas. :It has been a long time since Boston has beaten Phantom on the field--Friday nite we beat both Blue Stars and Phantom to post a third place finish behind Cadets and Crown. Last nite, in the Alamo Dome, the tables were turned back only slightly with a margin of only 5/100 of a point behind Phantom and .2 behind Blue Stars. It was a great first-dome performance for the kids and they had a very good show.

Today is a half-free day and the busses will drop the corps at San Antonio's Riverwalk for an afternoon of "chilling" in Texas. THe trucks and Souvies will deprt mid-afternoon for the 424mi run back to Louisiana.

Save for the score from one judge, we came within a nick of beating the reigning World Champions and the show continues to improve. IT will be an exciting final few weeks now up to August.

We have another layover in Hattiesburg prior to going to Murfreesburo and then Atlanta so stay tuned.

We are beginning to have minor mechanical failures with equipment now. THe generator is overheating in the food truck (think we have that fixed now) --some broken stands, a propane flow problem, and a turn light not working in the U3. These are kind of standard fare for mid tour but are more items on the list to get done during our "off" time!

More pix coming.

Its really gresat to see you all during the summer--this blog is becoming its own little group of followers--its very cool--thanks.
