It's very strange that 10 years ago the Lighthouse Brigade was dealing with the mud at our old field down the street from Park High School. Two of our staff members (Guy Gregg and Matt Koscinski) can relate to all of your muddy legs, shoes and socks because they were marching members themselves that year! 1998 was the "Evita" show and is still one of my favorite Brigade productions. I have a feeling 2008 will join this list at the end of the season!
Things are going great despite having to deal with terrible field conditions and snow days. The rehearsal yesterday was supposed to be the last day of school and the 5-9 rehearsal tonight was originally a 1-9 rehearsal. In spite of all of this - we are already on chart #33! By the end of Thursday we will be through Goin' Home and by Saturday night it is very possible that we will be able to do our first full run-through of the season!! That is awesome! Last night was also the first time I started seeing the LIGHTHOUSE BRIGADE. What I mean by that is something started to click with the members and I am finally starting to see intensity and confidence and style and agression. That is great to see and we are starting to learn what it will take for this year's edition of Brigade to perform and be competitive. Bottom line is that we are on the right track.
I would like to thank the members for juggling their schedules to make this crazy week happen with final exams, graduation and end of the year stuff going on. I really appreciate all of your efforts! Let's try to make every rep. get better and every run-through get better so that by the time we have our first performance (Friday, June 20th in Middleton, WI) let's be proud of the product we have on the field.
