Indianapolis WGI Regional Wrap-up
WHEW!!! What a weekend.
We are thrilled with the progress that we
are making right now and have shown just since last weekend at Central
Crossing.
Our score jumped almost 12.5 points from
last Sunday to today (60.5 to 72.9) and we are not even close to
completing the show. In comparison, at the very end of last year (in
April) we peaked at an 82...so we are doing well in comparison, but we
will still need to do a lot of hard work to take the show to a higher
level. Visually we are now beginning the phase of adding a new design
and props on to the floor tarp, we will be adding uniforms soon, and
the new drums will be here shortly as well. So what you see now may
look totally different in three weeks.
This weekend, almost everything went
smoothly, with very few glitches. We did incur a penalty on Saturday
for a technical problem with timpani legs (they weren't padded where
they could have damaged the gym floors), and also our practice gym had
no loading ramp for the equipment and was a few feet undersized...but
we all cooperated with each other and it worked out just fine.
Special thanks this weekend to our
driver-chaperones: Debbie Wegner, Duane Grohoske, Lance & Renata
Thompson. We obviously wouldn't be able to perform without their help,
and are grateful for their sacrificing the weekend just for us! Thanks
again!
Next show:
Saturday, February 24th - Campbell
County HS, Alexandria, Kentucky
We will have practice at Madison Plains
that day, then at approximately 5pm we will leave for the show. We
will need at least three drivers and vehicles for this contest, and
they would need to arrive at Madison Plains MS around 4:30pm for
pickup. We should return to Columbus by around midnight. More
information to follow.
Stay tuned for the weekly update later
this week, I will be releasing information for the WGI Dayton
Regional, and will begin asking for driver-chaperone help once again.
Thanks!
