Finally we left North Brunswick High School in NC. That place was truly hell. At one point I seriously thought it was raining fire on that worthless field we practiced on. We've finally made past those rehearsal days to the show day in arlington! The show for me personally was pretty solid. 67.1 was the corps overall score and drums had a 14.0 we beat Crossmen in drums but not in corps. Lili and her family came and so did Mom and Dad with Grandma Lindsay and Weezer. We were so sick in the lot. It just a matter if getting that on the field. I was so excited to get our off day in Baltimore on Sunday. Lili drove up in my car and I got to feel BA driving my car for a day. We had some delicious italian, saw toy story 3 and ate at Sullivans Steak House. It was really hard to leave Lili again. I'm
definitely getting homesick but, tour is really picking up. Another show tomorrow is just another day to kick some ass. Hopefully after this really this awful rehearsal day everyone who is sick will be kicking it tomorrow.

mmmmmm

Nothing like a 9 oz filet and baked potato on a free day. This is the reason why were able to make it so long on thrown together meals and wearing the same clothes for a week. It makes every bite of this steak that much better.

Holy crap its been so long since my last post. Between 12 and 14 hours of rehearsal leaves me so tired I rarely get the time to do anything other than sleep and drum. We have finally left Walhalla SC and just finished our first show of the season with a score of 66...point something or another...oh well. It w
as a solid first show and I had a good run. We are now headed out. It's been a good night. Next stop somewhere in West Virginia

Walhalla HS

Jeez...all days just don't give you a lot of time to do anything but eat, sleep, and practice. In any case we moved to our new housing site in Walhalla SC last Friday. It's actually been q pretty good place to stay. Unfortunately we got kicked out of the gym for basketball but, the basses found a killer room basically to ourselves whereas the rest of the corps is crammed into the cafeteria. At this point we've got everything on the field through the drum feature and the first 11 sets of the closer. Today should be interesting since were playing the half time at a little HS football game. Everything is going well can't wait to perform.

Last day in Tallulah Falls, GA

After 2 weeks we're finally leaving the YMCA camp. It was really nice...minus the rain. We got our first laundry day yesterday which was a lot of fun. The basses snagged some food at McDonald's. Still got a lot of packing to do before we roll.

I know I didn't mention this earlier but Spirit is currently staying at the YMCA camp in Tallulah Falls, GA. Today's morning block was 25 minutes of running and 3 hours of visual on "the swamp". Though learning ballad drill was worth it my feet were not happy....another pair of socks soaked...

Rainy days...

For whatever reason Tallulah Falls, GA knows how to bring the rain...my shoes feel like I'm standing in puddles. Just another day for Spirit 2010...
