SoCal Trip #2


After a productive few days of rehearsal at home, the corps left for Southern California Thursday evening. The trip was uneventful and the corps arrived at scenic Santa Barbara High School around 4 a.m.

Two rehearsal blocks today and show tonight. Rehearsal today will be a challenge as our field consists of an area that includes two softball fields (including the infields). On the plus side, we are only about 20 minutes from the show site, Harder Stadium at UC Santa Barbara (and walking distance from State Street and Starbucks!).

During the last week, we have picked up a couple of horn players and guard to fill our remaining spots. However, we are down a couple of mellophone players this weekend due to health issues and are hopeful they can be resolved as the corps flys out on tour next week.

After the show this evening, the corps will be headed to Pasadena for the 4th of July Celebration at the Rose Bowl.
