So last Saturday, the CCHS Rocket Regiment traveled to the Hopkinsville Stadium of Champions to compete in the band competition there. The setup for the event was as follows: Preliminary Competition, followed by Finals competition for the winning bands. Since their was one other band in our category, we were guaranteed a spot in Finals. The preliminary run wasn't very good, but everyone thought the Finals performance was our best ever.
Apparently, we were wrong.
The announcement came back that we had gotten 9th place out of 10. We were completely speechless. The band we beat was all but a joke in KMEA, so we knew we weren't that good. Turns out, that run was one of our worst visually EVER.
Regionals is this Saturday, and we most certainly have a chance at advancing. So we are actively working our tails off. Wish us luck.
I also thought that was our best run. I was overjoyed when we were going off the field. I legit cried when I found out how bad we were judged. The guard turned out to have a good score though so that's a plus. And, we know the rest of the closer because me and ellen wrote it and nash approved :D
ReplyDeleteThat was our best run, (for the guard anyway) but last saturday was an even worse fail on the judges part...
