HOUSTON (NO,... WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM!)

Best part of the evening was meeting up with the Field Band Foundation members who are marching with Pioneer this summer, and talking with them for quite some time in the parking lot after they had done their show. Unfortunately we got to the stadium when they had already performed. Warren, Cheslin and Olwethu are having the time of their lives with the corps here!

As I wrote in my previous post, all World Class corps are performing both in Dallas and Houston these two days, in front of the exact same judging panel at each show, so we should get a decent comparison tonight. It's really too bad we still haven't competed against Bluecoats or Carolina Crown yet!! That sucks!

Even worse yet.,... we won't see them this weekend either, as the format of the San Antonio show was changed into a two day event and was no longer held at the beautiful ALAMODOME, but at the stadium of the Judson High School about half an hour away from the city. Apparently the Dallas Cowboys needed the Alamodome for a couple of hours this weekend, so DCI had to go elsewhere!

The distance between where the corps buses were parked and the stadium itself was ridiculous! We unloaded the truck far aweay from the stadium too. On weekends the corps usually gets a lot of people to help out move the mirrors from the truck to the corps entrance of the stadium. There are always plenty of kids that will do that for a free t-shirt!

Mid-evening I did think... "HOUSTON,... WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!" after all
Worst part of the evening: My camera died halfway Cavaliers' show. I will have to get it checked tomorrow somewhere.

All files I took tonight are corrupt and show errors. The camera itself gives error messages too. I'm just hoping it's only the memory card itself!!! keep my fingers crossed!






So I got to see the Blue Devils and the Cadets from high up in the stands (same level as where the judges were at!) Excellent view!
Some exciting stuff going on on that field!!

Enjoy,
