The kids treated us to another great show and finished third to the same two outstanding bands that placed 1 and 2 at Eastview. And the Roadies stepped up and delivered. Thanks to all for jumping in and helping Saturday, every time I tried to lift something, it seems like somebody was
there to lend a hand.
It just seemed like we were destined for a long day, here's a few examples:
- Jeff's back going on strike
- cars left behing LHS causing us to stage trailers south of the auditorium
- Tom K. falling ill just as we were heading out and couldn't make the trip
- the trap set cart falling apart
- the battery not holding a charge
- a marimba doing the splits as we took the field
- more issues with buzzing and humming in the electronics
- a pit kid getting her hand caught in a tow chain, and bleeding for it
(a future Roadie perhaps?)
- and when it was all over, seeing an injured Color Guard and a Flute player
draped across Dean's ATV and Trailer for the trip back to the buses.
But in light of all these set-backs, we did what Roadies are supposed to do,
and just made it work.
