Busy like always :/

So this week is again packed. Like always. Tuesday and Thursday I have drumline practice like always but I ALSO have concert band practices which go from 3:00 to 5:00. Drumline practice starts at 5:30. So in other words I will be at school from 7:30 a.m. until around 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday. YAYYY!! and then Friday right after school we have practice until around 6:00 p.m. Then short break to go home, shower... and then off to Orlando at 6:30 for WGI Orlando. We will get up there around midnight and check into the hotel. Then the next morning we go to the competition and unload the equipment, have a short rehearsal and then perform. (We automatically make finals because there are 3 people in our class.) We will have a short break and then have another short rehearsal and then perform our show in finals. After the final performance, we load everything up and then go to retreat(where they announce the scores and hand out trophies) after retreat ends at around 10:00 p.m. we will leave to come back home and get to cypress at around 2 a.m. 

WGI stands for winter guard international. Winter guard is the color guard version of our winter percussion but it was formed before percussion so they just added us on to their competition venues. WGI is international, meaning more people will go to these competitions. In the local circuit(SFWGA- South Florida Winter Guard Association) we are the only group in our class, which means we win by default every local competition. WGI regionals are a big deal because we actually have competition at these venues and have a little more push behind us the practices before because of that same reason.
