DCI Championships Week




Arrived at our housing at Avon Intermediate School East early Tuesday morning. The corps slept in until noon, which was fine since a driving thunderstorm rendered any idea of an outdoor rehearsal impractical until the late afternoon.

Wednesday morning, started with the annual "Breakfast by the Pit". Every year, during DCI week, the front ensemble will wake up early and make breakfast for the corps members, instructional and support staff. It was delicious!

Most of the day was spent on the opener and closer, to provide a great first impression and a lasting statement at the end of the show. This was the emphasis on both sectional and ensemble work. It paid off in this evening's runthrough as both of these sections are much more consistent from a performance and projection standpoint.

One rehearsal block tomorrow and then off to Lucas Oil Field for quarterfinals.
