Rehearsal, Laundry and Fireworks!

Every 14 days the corps enjoys a shortened day to take the stink out of their travel bags and head to the Laundry Mat. While not the best July 4th activity, it was much appreciated by everyone (Drivers Included). Due to the nature of the holiday, Stuart found a spot for the corps to go and enjoy a fireworks show, so all and all a good day!

Parade and Show

The corps traveled to the Los Angeles area and are staying at California High School (Some students believe it to be the site for Grease, NOT!) This was a very busy day as we had a July 4th parade (on the 3rd) in Lake Forest CA and then participated in the Walnut California show at Mt San Antonio College. They performed a strong show and finally got thier underarmor to wear under thier uniform.

The show tonight in Vista was another solid performance and gave us the oppourtunity to integrate the new members into most of the show. The judges are wanting to see more of a complete product but we realize this is a marathon and not a sprint. While the Cali Corps end thier season in a few weeks, we still have over a month before our final show in Indianapolis so we need to pace the program to insure it stays fresh and does not peak too soon.

Special day!

Well, the corps put on the special show to a very special audience and had the chance to integrate the new members before the contest tomorrow. We also fixed some uniforms and picked up the Evil Character costume to help drive the story on the field. Special thanks to the El Camino High School Band Boosters for providing the dinner meal and for donations of Baked goods for the corps.
