Corps Encore

Thursday Dean, Logan, Spencer, Caitlin and I went to Weber State University to see Corps Encore. It is a drum and bugle corps competition. They had bands from six different states competing. None from Utah. We went with the High School band. Originally it was supposed to be just Dean and the boys going on the bus trip. The band instructor called Thursday morning and said they had a couple of extra tickets. Caitiln and I decided last minute to go along. Makayla got to go spend the day at Aunt Becky's playing with Bryson. (They even took her to the movies to see Wall-E).

We rode the school bus out there. It was a sweltering day!! No A/C on the bus. (What is that about anyway?) We sat in the blazing afternoon sun watching a band practice. Did I mention it was HOT! After grabbing a quick bite to eat at the Mall (yes...the mall was air conditioned...YEAH!) we returned to the stadium to watch the program that evening. It was awesome. It was not just your average marching band. There were alot of theatricals in it.

It has been along time since I have been on a bus trip. I don't remember school buss seats being that uncomfortable! We got back to Vernal about 2:30 a.m. That is late for this woman. It was a fun day.
