For the seventh time, I made the annual trip to Dayton, Ohio to watch & participate in Winter Guard International Championships. I knew what to expect for the most part, but I’ve always gone with a different group of people doing a different show so there are always surprises that make every trip special. I… Continue reading WGI Trip to Dayton, Ohio
Performance Journal: Finals Fact: performing in 14th place (being the second to go on) is a lot less stressful than performing in 8th, which was our placement last year. Being less stressed meant having a more pleasant time on the floor! So I truly enjoyed my finals run. After I caught my flag and made… Continue reading Performance Journal: WGI World Class Finals
Performance Journal: Semi-Finals Semi-Finals is nice because I’ve already performed this show in the arena before. I guess all my jitters have Been worked through so I didn’t have any to deal with! I still got nervous, of course. But I wasn’t nervous because of the venue; I was only nervous because I wanted to… Continue reading Performance Journal: WGI Semi-Finals
Performance Journal: Prelims Everything about the trip I’ll save for a summary post of my Dayton trip. This is just about my run, because it’s 11pm and I have an early wake up for Semi-Finals rehearsal tomorrow! This is at least my fifth year performing in the Dayton arena, I’m well acquainted with the building… Continue reading Performance Journal: Prelims
If you’re anything like me, the annual road trip to WGI Finals in Dayton, Ohio is a week of excitement but also a lot of unhealthy stress. I get stressed to the point of being physically sick, and the lack of sleep and easy access to healthy food only makes it worse. Travelling and less-than-stellar… Continue reading (Healthy) Food Packing list for WGI Dayton
The last Orlando show of the 2016 season, and definitely one of the most important ones. This was my 6th UCF regional, and now that I go to UCF I was very comfortable making my way around. We got out of rehearsal earlier-than-normal on Friday night and Saturday’s rehearsal wasn’t until mid-afternoon. This meant getting… Continue reading Performance Journal: WGI Southeastern Regional Championships at UCF
Just another circuit show? One of the more “circuity” shows just because of the population of obnoxious high schoolers and how cramped it was in the gym! Luxuriously, we didn’t have rehearsal today. I slept in until 10 or 11, and finished some posts and even ran some errands with E and J (the friends… Continue reading Performance Journal: FFCC Freedom
In my modern class this semester, we had to choreograph a dance based on an emotion and a prop that we drew out of a hat. My group got “Shy” and “Book”, and choreographed this piece! We made up a plot: shy girl finds confidence in the stories she reads and the characters in the… Continue reading In a World of my Own- Modern Dance Piece
This show its one week after the regional, and at a show site that usually hosts that regional. It was weird to be a smaller circuit show there. On the other hand, however, it was hard to treat it as anything more than a small circuit show. Another thing I have to work on, maybe?… Continue reading Performance Journal: FFCC Cypress Creek
First regional of 2016! We just recently finished our show (even with a lot of “filler”), our floor, and the only other show we performed at was Premiere. There was a lot of newness to this one, like a second premiere! We had a rehearsal late Friday night and that included finishing our floor (crafty!),… Continue reading Performance Journal: WGI Tampa
