Thursday Rehearsal

Nate ran a rehearsal today from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.  Starting with sectionals in the morning, we took advantage of the warmer weather and spread out around the Carlisle High School's athletic fields for practice.

The Mom Team went shopping for sandwich fixings, salad, fruit and chips - high energy teenager fuel.  Following lunch it was back to sectional practice with the pit staying out in the sunshine and the battery moving inside to work on marching, visuals and, of course, playing.

By mid-afternoon Nate brought all of the elements of the ensemble together inside for work on each individual section of their performance.  Oliver arrived from California to assist, along with the other instructors, in fine tuning the show.  At 8:20 tonight the ensemble did a full run-through of the program and looked terrific!

Friday morning is the preliminary round at the Nutter Center.  Twenty-eight units are scheduled to perform in our class.  The top performers will move on to the Finals round on Saturday.

We'll provide an update after the preliminary scores are announced on Friday.

Stay tuned!
