Georgia Dome - Saturday, July 25






Atlanta Regional today. we are almost fully recovered. We did hold out a couple of members as a precaution. The show was one of the best of the season. A great crowd, and tremendous venue. Staff and members were very pleased with both the effort and performance. The corps did a fine job of dealing with the acoustics which come with performing inside a dome.

Upon leaving the show, we found out that our housing in Sevierville would not be available until Monday. As a result, Mr. Mar called Pat Gallagher, the Band Director of Pickens High School in Jasper where we had stayed the night before. Through his generosity, we were able to stay overnight again at Pickins High School and rehearse during the day before leaving for Sevierville. It turned out to be a fortunate series of events, as it rained most of the day in Sevierville and we would not have gotten much outside work.

Many times in drum corps life, people will lend a hand without hesitation. In this case, the Mandarins wish to thank Pat Gallagher for all his assistance and support.

We are presently on our way to Sevierville, and should wind up there shortly after midnight.

Show day tomorrow!
