Tonight...

Well, we made it through. The ladies had the run of a lifetime tonight and fed their audience every ounce of emotion they could muster. We're very proud of the season we have just ended and can't wait to find out our placement Saturday night. But, you know what? It's not about the score. It's about having fun, learning about life, becoming closer with peers, and always lending a hand. That's our mission.

Check back tomorrow for an update!

Hoover Recap and Other Items of Interest...

An excerpt from one of your emails: Do you know one thing I love about Winterguard? I love all the different emotions that are portrayed... Like in Hoover's show I am to the point of tears because I think of Hannah, And in another, it was all 80's, and had crazy flags and it made me want to dress up in a bluejean trenchcoat and tease my hair and play with neon flags and rifles, and during Hueytown's I can't help but dance and sing and it makes me wanna scream FEVER!

Ladies, you consistently make me and your supporters ever so proud. Your performances were stellar and moving. One of you mentioned today "When the last note was played, I knew that I had given my best and that everyone around me did the same." You should always perform as though it is your last. Don't ever hold anything back.

We'll go through the recap at Thursday's rehearsal and set our goals for this weekend.

Some notes for everyone...

Lawrenceburg Show

  • Everyone must be ready to leave the band room parking lot at 3:30pm. This isn't leaving the bathroom to go put your stuff on the trailer/go to your locker to get your iPod/run home to get your equipment. This is us in the cars pulling out of the parking lot. We cannot leave later than that.
  • Any quilt/sheet/blanket going on the trailer must be put in a plastic bag. There will be some at the back of the trailer.
  • Lawrenceburg Tentative Schedule
  • Lawrenceburg Show Web-Site
  • Directions to Lawrenceburg, TN
Nashville Regional

  • I was mistaken about how tickets are arranged for this show. Seating is open and everything is one price. We will get there before it gets full, so no issue as to how many we have going with us. Everyone other than members should just be ready to purchase a ticket for $18 at the window. If you have already given me a check, I will just include you in the order for the ladies. No sweat.
  • We will be leaving around 7ish and will return around 11ish. We'll do lunch at Green Hills Mall with the Brooks Crew and we'll also lend a hand to our fellow units performing.
  • Mr. Visser has offered his RV to transport the ladies. He must have this confused with National Lampoon's Winter Guard Weekend. :) So, we won't need drivers. All of the rest of us can just car-pool behind them.
Championships

  • Just let me know if you would like a room from our block for either Thursday night, Friday night, or both.

Ladies, you will find a most pleasant surprise in the guard room. Please keep this space neat and free of unneeded "junk." Assist others in making sure this room stays this way for a while. Read my mind. ;)

Legacy...

Let me remind of something we reflected on this past weekend:

I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me And I enjoy an accolade like the rest You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much

I want to leave a legacy How will they remember me? Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough To make a mark on things? I want to leave an offering A child of mercy and grace who blessed your name unapologetically And leave that kind of legacy (Legacy by Nichole Nordeman)

Some of the compliments from the Pell City show:

"You and your girls truly exemplify the spirit of what winter guard is about...having an excitement for the activity and a willingness to help and support others!! You guys are just fabulous!" - Hoover High

"Thank you so much for your help! The girls are absolutely beautiful, both on the floor and off. Can't wait to see Chelsea again!" - Amor

I know it's no surprise to you that you're always being watched. You should be proud of the precedent you are setting for this program. Never hesitate to lend a hand, a smile, and a hug. We're all there for the same goal; let's reach it together.

Check back on Sunday night for next week's schedule and Hoover Info. (Look below for Hoover links)
