(Still A-) Live, from Poteet, TX

Hey... Its is 104 in the shade today in Poteet, TX. Nice Texas day. We are in a VERY rural area west of San Antonio--same housing as last year. While it appears hostile and desolate, the hospitality is among the best of the best we have received. The local support parents and band teacher hosted a fruit lunch on the field yesterday and the sleeping rooms were clean, numerous, and COLD!! :)

Two new picture albums by BAC supporters Phil and Larry. Enjoy these--they have many shots I have no opportunity to get due to my other responsibilities on the field and driving related.


Speaking of driving, the picture below is a typical tight squeeze with the pit trailer and gator at a show. The event organizers often get overly ambitious at squeezing the buses and trucks into a lot forgetting that pit equipment must move to and from the gate in between. The first half of the season was particularly bad with many small venue lots to deal with.

Managed a few minor repairs yesterday and today and we are ready for the regional show in San Antonio.

A couple of more no-show days coming up in Monroe, LA so should be able to write a bit more about the Texas loop.

GO BAC...
