So for the first time since I have been here at Roslyn we have had two Wednesday night rainouts in a row, which means, we haven't had a practice outside for 17 days prior to the Yamaha Cup, our year ending event. This totally illustrates how the once a week rehearsal can impact our season if the weather isn't cooperative. In addition, we may not even get outside tomorrow to practice at 3pm due to more rain in the forecast.
The good news, it probably will not be raining tomorrow night at 10:04pm at MetLife, when we are on. Well, the really good news is that our band is smart, they know the show very well, and if it is raining tomorrow we will go through the drill with them in a meeting in the lecture hall at 3pm. They will probably do an amazing show, as they did for the home game run through last Saturday.
The championship gets hit with rain one in ten times in these outdoor arenas. If you are in a band the year it gets hit with rain, then you are impacted greatly, which might happen tomorrow. This is the reason that many bands go to the Carrier Dome for the finals, they are guaranteed to be able to get the show off with no precipitation or weather impact at all.
Tomorrow, if it is raining at 3 we are in the lecture hall, any rain at all. We cannot get wet and sit all day in that condition. We are going to the Yamaha Cup in any case.
If it is drizzling at 10 we might go on, we might not. I will make the call with the staff and may wait until just before we go on to make the decision. I will tweet updates to the twitter site. In case we march at 10:04 and THEN get wet in the middle of the show, I am asking everyone to bring a towel and plastic bag to put their wet uniform in, and then they can change back into their street clothes, which they wore to the school at 3pm.
Thanks for your understanding and support.
