So, today was MEPA Championship Prelims for Winter Percussion. I definitely thought we'd make finals tomorrow, seeing as we've pretty much been kicking everyone's butt this year.
Then we all played the worst show of the YEAR. And we all knew it. It was horrible. The pit separated from the battery tempo-wise, separated music-wise (same tempo but different places in the music?!), and we probably screwed up within sections, too. I know I had some nasty entrances with Tyler. Anyway, we were all moping and making fun of ourselves because it was so horrible. (I was kind of sad because my last show was so bad.) I was trying to convince everyone we'd barely pull finals then kick everyone's arse tomorrow with a good show and that would be our April Fool's.
So we're standing around getting our talk from Soucek (who didn't admit it was our fault, he blamed it on us needing the folks who were gone [and we were all WTF we all just told you to your face it was the worst show of our lives]) when the parents tell us they posted our score and we had a 91.8. 91.8?! Not an April Fool's trick?
No. Seriously. We got a 91.8. (Note that in WGI Nashville we got a 86.0.) From what I hear we beat Old and Tangly (Olentangy) by 1.2 and everyone else (including Centerville A).
How?! I have no idea. None whatsoever. I want to hear the judges' tapes, desperately, lol.
Seriously, though... WTF?
