Back Home



Sunday we were in Riverside for the second show of the season. The performance was not quite at the same level as Saturday night's, although some individual segments of the show showed definite improvement. A bit of energy seemed to be lacking, and we didn't appear to be clicking on all cylinders. However, every performance is a learning experience for us, and we are now looking forward to this coming week.

The corps arrived back in the Sacramento area around 7:45 Monday morning. Today is a day off, then a full week of work here at home leading to three NorCal shows this weekend. This week we will be revising the end of closer drill, adding more guard work and choreography, adding movement for the musicians in Libertango, making some revisions to the drum solo and of course cleaning the show!

On Tuesday, a film crew from KVIE TV will be at rehearsal to film for a segment featuring the Mandarins.

All the corps members, instructional staff and volunteer support staff put in a tremendous effort over the past 10 days of training camp and then our first trip of the season to Southern California. The performers' work ethic and effort has resulted in major strides in performance, and we are certainly looking forward to another week of progress.
