LONG DRIVE TO COLORADO !

Last night was a looooooooooooooooooong drive!!! We left Ogden Utah not too long after the show. We got here little after 8 this morning after having put some 500+ miles on the odometer. We will be here (Henderson, Colorado) for the next 4 days.

The show at Mile High Stadium in Denver isn't until Saturday night, so the corps will have plenty of time cleaning stuff in their show, and adding new things to it.
The corps had two block of rehearsal time today. We served brunch at only 1PM, so the members all got time to sleep in a little bit.
Brunch was hash browns, home fries, a variety of scrambled eggs, and delicious choclolate muffin.

Dinner was a taco salad bar, so I chopped quite a bit of tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, peppers, and I don't know what...
It's unbelievable through how much food these members go. I also made pasta salad for dinner or snack.
We grilled some 70 pounds of ground beef for the taco salad bar! And it's all gone now. You should see how much food some of them stack on their plate!



This afternoon I checked my email and answered some. Found out that all my media credentials will be waiting for me at the Hutchinson show. I will get a separate pass for this Saturday. Also read through the Jubal Italy diary on the Jubal site. Cool!

The showers at the school are scorching hot! But hey... it's good to have a shower.
We are even able to do some laundry here at the school these days.
Also uploaded some more photos for the Blue Devils website. Check it out on the mediabox on http://bluedevils.org/mediabox/

The hornline paid tribute to famous bass arranger Jim Ott at warmup tonight. I posted some videofootage of that on my facebook page. Jim died exactly 30 years ago today.

Watched some of rehearsal too tonight. Unfortunately the lights in the school stadium didn't work, so they had to do sectionals instead.
Some lady from the neighbourhood came and complain about the "noise". I think that was only at 9PM. SHe'd going to be in for a surprise tomorrow night then,... when rehearsal (including runthrough) is planned until 10PM.

Enjoy,
