So our first competiton was on saturday. We were all a little tired since it was about midnight before we got to bed and we had to be on the field at nine. Morning rehersal went well I think. It took us forever to get everything loaded.

so then we were off to barnwell, which if you don't know is in the lower part of the state. so the trip took us about 3 1/2 hours. it went by quickly as both robert and i had ds with us so we played alot of multiplayer. after that i just played diamond the rest of the way.

So when we got there we did all the normal stuff with getting ready to compete. there was some confusion as to wheather or not I should be warming up or pushing the sound system. I guess I'll only be helping with the A.R.K.(Amplification Rolling Kart) as part of the A.R.K.(Aplification Rolling Krew) at football games and not at competions. So we went out and preformed. It went great. It was our best time through the show. As usuall, the one place where we suffered was marching. Our GE score was way up and our music score was up as well.

It seems that something happened to the original schedule, originally we were going to have to stop somewhere on the way back to get dinner but we had time to get dinner at the stadium.

Then the awards came. There were three bands in 1a, two in 2a and only us in 3a. So we won Best Drum line, best gaurd, best hornline, and first place in 3a and we won red division grand champions.(1a and 2a were combined to make white division and red division was 3a).

so the trophies were empty but we felt great when we came off the field and that is what matters. So we left for the 3 1/2 hour trip back home and got home about midnight. If we had stopped for dinner on the way back then we would've gotten home about 2:30 they were estimating.
