2 cents worth

I have recently begun competing in WGI (Winter Guard International) and AIA (Atlantic Indoor Association) class Independent A. In my first blog I wrote about the song Romeo and Juliet. That song is our show music, we have recently gotten our uniforms which upon first look seem to be quiet awkward. At the first competition Impact went to Oakton HS and recieved a score of 57.7 out of 100. We then went back to rehearsal for the next week. We then came out in the WGI Regional at Powhatan HS in Richmond, VA. We had to first perform in pre-lims competition and make it into the top 5 to get into finals. After some much anticipated waiting we had found out that we had made it into more than just the top 5, we managed to make it into the top 3 with a score of 66.2. Later that night, after an additional 2 hours of rehearsal, we went back to the regional to perform for finals. The run of our production seemed to be much more lackadaisical, seeing as we had been up since 6:30 that morning and it was now about 8:00. However we managed to keep our third place spot and have our score get raised by 2 points. We finished this passed weekend with a final score of 68.2. The next place we will compete is at the WGI Regional in Nashville. I’ve never been there, so its going to be a whole new experience for me.
