A True Test

We will have a true test of our skills and attitude today and tonight. We are travelling to Charleston to compete in the Lowcountry Invitational hosted by the Wando High School Band. We will be competing in Class 5A. Some may ask why we should compete in 5A although we only have 106 members this year. Well that is simple. If you ever want to compete at the top levels this state has to offer, you've got to get in the arena with them. We will have to do much better than we did last night at half time though. It was an unfocused run that seemed to have many, many small mistakes and some big ones too. Tempo continues to be our main issue although small issues like horn angles and getting our toes up continue as well. It is time to start putting it all together. Whatever the outcome, I just want our best tonight at 8:15. Travelling to competitions is fun. Travelling home knowing you did your best...priceless.
