Happy Thanksgiving...

Wanted to take a break from the Macy's parade and wish you all the best of today. The fact that my break occurs during Miley Cyrus' performance only makes my morning that much better. But on a more serious note...I am truly thankful for each of you associated with all that our program has become. Thanksgiving is a time for appreciation and family - I greatly appreciate this, our color guard family. Have a wonderful and safe day and I'll see you guys next week.

All my best,

Rifle...

Let's recap tonight. You guys need to solidify just what we did tonight and we'll broach it again on Tuesday and add a few things. Don't get adventurous - I don't want you to get hurt. If you missed tonight, no big deal. We'll catch you up next week. You can watch the clip below for a few pointers. This kid also has some other videos with good points. Be safe and smart!

Time Change...

For Tuesday's rehearsal, we will be meeting from 5:30pm - 7:30pm at Mt. Laurel. Come in by the playground, turn right, and we'll stretch in that hallway (by the bathrooms). Be safe in the wet!

Yesterday I went to the doctor and learned a few things...
  • One should not go to the walk-in clinic at 5:34pm if you have anything else to accomplish with your evening.
  • I need to take a pillow next time.
  • I have a "great" case of streptococcus, better known to most as "strep throat."
With that last revelation, I have been instructed to stop living; these last few days, seems I have that on lock down. I hate to cancel again, but I feel I must. It's too early for us all to get sick. So, we will postpone our rehearsals until Tuesday, Nov. 25, where you will also get your handbooks. Enjoy your weekend.
