Quarter finals!Very short rehearsal day due to some last minute changes at the rehearsal facility. Early runthrough followed by a laid back afternoon back at the hotel. I think the hornline and guard worked on some choreography and the drums did some playing outside. All I know for sure is that I was able to get a short nap in a real bed and it was fantastic!There ended up being quite a big storm during the show, luckily all of the corps had a chance to find warm up zones in the convention center. We actually ended up doing visual warm up right outside of the convention center under a big overhang. The lighting was too cool so I had to do some slow shutter speed shots.Well this is a normal shutter shot, but you can see how nice those lights on the wet streets look. Beautiful!The show itself was fantastic of course, and I think the front ensemble (pit) was happy with their performance...Turns out they won the percussion caption tonight! A nice bonus on top of winning overall :-DThat's all for now, thanks for having a look!
