We have a double competition on Saturday, and I'm not sure how I feel. Competitions are a lot of work, since you have to rehearse, load the trucks and buses, drive to the stadium, unload, perform, get awards, wait, load, drive to the next location, unload, perform, wait, get awards, load, and drive home. That's a lot of work. The pit's not too happy, since they have the biggest instruments. According to upperclassemen, they're also not very fun, since it's a lot of work.
We're skipping the usual rehearsal before the competition, which I think is both good and bad. It's good to get the spots we need to touch up, and it gives us more confidence. The rehearsal always seems to take forever, so in some ways I'm glad we're skipping it.
The directors are letting us go to a part of an amusement park for a treat since we'll have to work so hard on Saturday.
We're going to have four performances in three days. We have our fundraiser appreciation performance on Thursday, since it was postponed from rain, a football game performance, and the two performances for our two competitions.
The football game on Friday was so windy and cold. One person had to bite down on their hat straps to keep their hat on their head. Our directors commended us for fighting through the wind. Hopefully, it won't be nearly as windy on Saturday.
