Last night we drove from Gettysburg. It was about an 6 hour drive. It normally wouldn’t take so long but the Convoy is about 15 cars. It is something to see when you area driving in the middle of it and its just one long line of cars. All these people are here for the kids for them to be the best they can be and to make sure that these kids make it safely to there destination.

I didn’t ride with my coworkers I rode in our box truck with the person who is in charge of props. It was a hilarious ride. I’ve adopted him as my new best friend on tour. We have a lot of the same schedule so its nice having someone around who really doesn’t care that much I don’t know about drum corp.

He even let me celebrate every time we hit a new state. (Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia)

The music is cool day started off well. There was about 200 kids who came to this clinic. I was surprised since the one we did in Hanover it felt like there was only 50 kids. I was told early in the morning they needed me to drive tonight so I was able to get to sleep for a little bit during the day.
We watched a run through of the show. It is almost finished. I think they are learning the rest today which is so exciting. It looks really good, and I honestly would tell you if I thought it sucked. It is a pretty cool thing to see 135 kids on the field. Not just marching but going so quickly you and I would fall on our buts.

Lets see what else. We were able to get out for a little bit we went to Wendys for dinner. No convoy no people asking us to do things we weren’t brought here to do.

I like tour life so far. Its getting easier and I seriously doubt I’ll be as tired as I was the first day. Its getting easier.

As for driving to Tenn. last night? Well of course I was the only female in the convoy. Which was a little intimidating at first. Plus my passenger turned off the music so we drove in silence until we hit Tenn. I had no one to celebrate with but my friend from the previous night celebrated over the radio. As per the agreement for me driving. I was allowed to sleep in today. I need to find the stadium cause I should go earn my keep!

Mad love from Tennessee!
