Everything in its right place

So I definitely would like to retract everything negative I had to say about the drum corps season. Like magic, and right on schedule, all confusion and frustration has sublimated. And now, the less opaque version.

We just got back from the first leg of tour (down Southern California way) and are firmly in the lead of Div II, with a score of 79.00. As far as pure rehearsal days go, we are basically halfway done, with the most concentrated stretch of improvement on our doorstep. Tomorrow, we leave for the Eager Dome, and will be rehearsing like mad until July 4th. According to 05 members, it's the turning point of the season, where the clouds of tickery part, and a glimpse of the final product first becomes apparent. From the improvement we've made over this first weekend, I already am excited to see where this next camp takes us.

Random thought: On thursday night, we were supposed to write 'thank you letters' to staff members of the corps. Seeing as how I count two of them in my list of IMPORTANT ROLE MODELS, I was pretty eager to take advantage of this time. In retrospect, though, I said exactly what I didn't want to say in both of them, and covered little to nothing of what I actually wanted to. I don't know why this happened, and even worse, I wonder if I completely avoid the point all too often and am just now noticing it. Maybe you, dear blog-reader, have noticed this already.
