We had a great day today. Waking up at 8am, we ate breakfast in two sittings at 9:00 and 9:45. We then relaxed and went to the "Carousel Mall" from 11:30 to 1:30, returned to the hotel from 2 to 4 to relax, and then went to our rehearsal site at Central Square High School from 4:30 to 7:00pm. It took a while for the band to get going at first, we had some problems with falling apart and fixed them. The weather was incredible, the stadium beautiful, a turf field, lights, and all. Then the last 90 minutes the band did the best they ever did. We made some major changes to increase the flow of the songs, cutting out the spaces between the movements. Then we did some work on those transitions to make the show perfect in terms of the dramatic content and musical impacts. We ended as it started to drizzle and went to eat at "Old Country Buffet" in Syracuse. Returning to the hotel at 9:15, the band members had free time at the pool until 11pm when they all went soundly to bed. We were incredibly lucky with the weather for our rehearsal, it seemed to stop just for us! We are all psyched about our performance at the Dome tomorrow.
Remember, judging is subjective. Be ready for anything.
