Friday was a short rehearsal day, then on the buses for a few days, staring with the Clovis Show. Musically, the show went well, although visually it was not our best. However, a definite improvement over the Riverside show.
After a bit of driving, we arrived at Independence High School in San Jose, our housing for the week. Many of the older staff members remember when Independence High School was the major location for west coast winter guard, as many WGI West Regionals and California Color Guard Championships were held there.
Saturday rehearsal was a bit of a struggle, as temperatures were near record highes in the south bay. Lots of water breaks and constant reminders about sunscreen and hats.
The Stanford show was clearly the best of the season. Musically, the show continues to improve; tonight the guard took a major step forward in their performance qualities. There were a couple of ensemble issues in the opener, but the corps settled down and the rest of the show flew by. A great audience response to the performance!
Today, Sunday, one rehearsal block, and then on to Stockton for the show at UOP. This is a home show of sorts, as it is closest to the Sacramento area and we also have a good number of members from the Stockton/Lodi area. The corps is presently finishing up the clean up and loading operations, and will be on the road.
