Onto the 2nd Competition of the year, and with it been the following week after the 1st Show, we had limited time on the rehearsal field.
The weather was a howler, backfield as we were ready to go on, 1 of the screens collapsed in the wind with 1 of the legs snapping, the wind was really going for it!
Anyway, from the rehearsal in the morning we'd made several improvements, however I feel we struggle to cope with long distances to the audience.
Onto the performance, visually was a real step up, getting cleaner and plenty of tweaks had gone. Musically was nightmare, we had tempo issues from the off, I think at 1 point we had 5 tempos going on in certain places. The wind & rain was playing havoc. A really determined effort from member's, we certainly don't practise to go out of time! Anyway, it happened and we'll certainly work on it, it's still early season.
Colourguard : a real strong section this season.
Field Visual : we were all smug looks at this one.
Ensemble Visual : the visual tweaks helped here.
Visual Effect : ditto !
Percussion : 1st trophy for the section this year, great!
Onto the results, got to the top two, scores are read out with a difference of 0.15.
We bagged 2nd, however an excellent result considering the conditions. 5 trophies and 2nd against 6 other units is a great achievement. Well done everyone.
