Great Weekend

Blue Knights Percussion Ensemble came out to the Western Percussion Championship last weekend. Since they were going to be in California I knew I had to go down to see the show.....even if it was 7 hours away. I headed down after work work on Friday and made it to the hotel around 11pm. There were a few people there that knew I was coming, but for the most part it was a surprise. So I headed to breakfast the next morning and got some confused looks. A few people said, "Hey Shea.....oh wait, what are you doing here?" But everyone thought it was cool that I got to drive down and hang out. I just spent the weekend following them around, watching practices, taking pictures, and helping set up at the show. After finals we all drove out to the beah and got dinner. It was quite nice. Being around them really made me miss Colorado and all my friends even more. I can't wait to be back home! And definitely doing indoor next year, I miss it too much to not be in it again.
As for their show this season, it's awesome! They have added a few things since the last video I saw online and I love everything about it. At finals they scored 87.825 which is higher then our finals score last year. And the crowd really loves their show...I'm sure if you watch you'll see why it's so cool!
Hopefully I can get a video up here soon....

Cool props! The show is called Physical Graffiti

 As for Americorps...since our students are on spring break we "beautified" the school last week. Mostly by painting bathrooms. It doesn't sound to fun but it was pretty cool. We got to paint logos and cool designs. I impressed my self with my painting skills.

This week they are still on spring break. We are now working with the Sacramento Tree Foundation, although I haven't worked with them yet. I got sick over the weekend and have stayed home the past two days. But after getting lots of sleep this morning I'm feeling quite a lot better! Yay. Well thats about it for now....oh, and I can't believe college basketball right now. I think there is one person on my team that has a final four pic right. Ridiculous.
