SCGC Championships... a great 5th place finish!!!!

This WEEK!!!!

The time is quickly approaching.... Hard to believe the 2nd season for Dega Darlins Addition is wrapping up.  I am very excited about the trip coming up and I am even more excited about the dedication, hard work and preparation that I have seen from such an wonderful group of talented and spirited young ladies.  :)  The things you have changed and improved upon this week are really wonderful.  I am so proud of you to be able to change so quickly and efficiently, what a great season of growth for this group. 

A few last minute details to help us as we get closer to departure.

• The Itinerary online is correct.  We do have the performance times that are within that block, but overall everything stays pretty much the same.  When you receive the official itinerary on Friday morning you will the exact time that we discussed posted.  Also, instead of going downtown for dinner, we will go for lunch, which will give us more time. In the meantime if you have questions ASK! 
• We discussed the possibility of going to Wild Horse as a group.  As of right now, enough people have not turned in their information.  If they do by this afternoon then we will go, if not then we will not.  I will let you know when I am positive. 
• TRAVEL FORMS ARE PAST DUE!!!!!!
• INTERSTATE:  There is a large delay on I-65 North around the Cullman exit.  It has been advised that we find an alternate route due to the fact the delay has taken up to 2 hours, which we do not have in our schedule.  It is only 20 more minutes according to google maps to go to Gadsden, get on I-59 and go North to Chattanooga then over to Nashville.  The total trip being 4 hours and 23 minutes as opposed to 4 hours. The downfall is that they are doing construction here as well and it is a one lane road... however, the traffic moves at a consistent pace here and will not slow us too much.  
• Friday Lunch.... We will still stop at Steak 'n shake on the way up.  We will just stop at a different location.  It is actually still about 30 minutes outside of Nashville like before...I will have a map for the location... it is right on the interstate.  (Symrna, TN)

I believe that is all for now.  See you this afternoon, for another STELLAR rehearsal. 

updates!

Please check the calendar on Dega Band for rehearsal updates for this coming week; CHAMPIONSHIP week!  YAY!  It is different than before.

I am sad that the break is over, but I really look forward to the next week.  Brian has arranged so that he can be at practice on Monday and Tuesday for both the Dega Darlins and the Dega Addition.  There a few last minute changes that we want to make before championships.  A few specifics from some judges and such.  It is going to be tiring for everyone, but hopefully the end result will be VERY rewarding.  Be sure to express you thanks to Brian... he will be driving from Atlanta BOTH Days and then to Nashville on Friday! 

I wanted to let you know how complimentary the judges were of you at the Killen Competition.  You are doing some GREAT things out there each time you perform.  I look forward to your performance at Nashville and hope that it is the best one yet! Get some rest, take your vitamins and lets have an outstanding week of rehearsals, fellowship and performances as we head to Nashville on Friday!

Don't forget that we will be rehearsing at ZEJH during 5th period every day this week.  Make needed arrangements.  Also, I received an email from the SCGC contest director that official performance times will be issued by 5pm on Monday. I will get the updated Itinerary to you as soon as I have it.  If I get it Monday prior to rehearsal, you will get it Monday, if not, you will receive it Tuesday at Practice.  

Competition at Brooks!

Here is the video from the show at Brooks High School in Killen, AL. 

You can watch the DD or EE on their blogs as well. 

Enjoy!
