Ahh...the first post. I suppose this is where I tell you a bit about myself and what makes up my world. Well, guess what...

I'm a little busy right now.

I am leaving for Dayton Ohio (yes, you heard me correctly...Dayton) this afternoon with about 26 nervous, hyper, high school kids - and I have to mentally prepare myself. I am a staff member for a high school winter guard (not my real job...I'm crazy enough to do this for fun!). For those of you that don't know what that is - you can click on the WGI or MCGC links to the left - or - you can read my quickie explanation.


Winter Guard is (very basically) taking the color guard (flags, rifles, sabres) that performs with the marching band during football games, giving them their own identity and letting them competitively perform indoors, during the winter season to pre-recorded music.For those who think this is fluff - try it...hell...watch it - even once - and your minds will be changed.

We are taking our high school group to their first ever WGI Regional competition - in Dayton....and I have to mentally prepare. Its going to be a long weekend.
