Kaila and I are heading to St. Louis, MO this weekend. Kaila is leaving tomorrow from school on charter buses and me and another band/guard mom are flying out tomorrow evening.
It will be a busy weekend for us. On Friday the kids will practice and perform in the prelims at 7:30pm. On Saturday, the kids will go to Six Flags and at 4pm that afternoon will find out if they made it to the finals. If they make it to finals, they will perform again that evening and then the awards ceremony will be later that evening. There are approximately 52 bands there from all over the United States. Only the top 14 make it to the finals! Sunday morning we all head back home.
The friend that I am going with and I are not going to Six Flags, so we are going to try and see some sights like the Arch and the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis (it is the worlds largest collection of mosiac art). The kids will be performing in the Edward Jones Dome that is home to the St. Louis Rams football team. It is also the place where Pope John Paul II celebrated a mass not too long ago. It was the largest indoor gathering ever held in the U.S.
Wish us luck! I will post pictures when we get home on Sunday.
