A head above the rest
So I'm eating my tasty peanut butter and jelly sandwich, light on the jelly, and trying to figure out if Evans meant to not send us all the bass heads we needed or if its all a big joke. We've had a lot of trouble with heads because we don't have enough for all the drums. Randall has a dent the size of a baseball in his right head and its just a matter of time till it breaks. We just laid out our best show here in Oklahoma and I can't wait to hear scores. Hopefully we'll be set up well for our push into Texas before the regional in San Antonio.

More fun than a barrel of turf monkies
Holy crap...I am sitting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin "america's dairyland" wondering where the hell we left the bus in Ohio. The past week has been completely ridiculous. We've had 5 shows and one rehearsal day, some horrible bus rides, and some good and not so good housing sites. We busted out last with almost a 75 (74.7) which is a good score. At this point the minimal sleep and practicing on black tops has finally caught up with me. My legs and feet are killing me...and I really some sleep. I'm borderline falling asleep during practice. Right now however, like I said before, I just want to know where my bus is. The percussion bus air compressor went dead at about 2 AM somewhere in Ohio. It still has my freakin suitcase on it. All have is my airbed blanket and backpack. Hopefully it'll get here before the ride to Minnesota because, I certainly don't want another sleepless night on the staff bus.

Headed to Ohio
Well were in transit to Akron, Ohio and the bus is stuck in suburbia...again...for like the 500th time. in fact i'm completely used to every trip being a borderline disaster. We have bus and navigation problems all the time. I was actually looking forward to some friggin floor time but at this rate...oh well. well we saw Madison for the first time tonight...they 6 pointed us. Im furious. I'm tired of the corps having sub par shows. I hope we can figure this stuff out rather than having bad shows...

sharing is caring
So we just rolled into our housing site and guess what? Turns out were sharing the gym with Boston Crusaders. It's air matresses and sleeping bags as far as the eyes can see. We have some free time tonight in Boston so were fixin to see some fireworks. All in all the parade wasn't too bad and the night is only gonna get better.
stop...spirit time
I know It's been a while since my last post. Been Busy busy busy. It's been amazing since we headed north. The weather has been much cooler and the schools have been pretty chill. Were in Boston Mass. right now headed to a parade...which is certainly not something I'm looking forward to. We've completely revamped our balad so I'm hoping that'll help bump us up in scores.
These days in Lynn mass have been ridiculous. We've walked 10 blocks for a practice field torn down cable lines and even some police run ins.
Another day in Spirit.
