THE MARCHING CHARGERS ARRIVED AT MYRTLE BEACH, SC AROUND 6 PM ON FRIDAY NIGHT. THE TRIP WAS UNEVENTFUL, (A GOOD THING) AND THE KIDS WERE READY TO STRETCH THEIR LEGS. THE NEXT 4 HOURS WERE SPENT AT "BROADWAY AT THE BEACH". OTHER THAN HAVING "STICKER SHOCK" WITH THE FOOD PRICES, THINGS WERE PERFECT. ALL HAD A GREAT TIME FOR THE EVENING.
NEXT WAS HEAD COUNT AND CHECK IN AT THE HOTEL. THEY WERE IN THEIR ROOM AND LIGHTS (CLOSE TO OUT) BY 11 PM.
SATURDAY MORNING ARRIVED "EARLY" FOR MOST. ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO HAD TO MONITOR THE HALLS DURING THE NIGHT. THANKS TO THOSE BRAVE PARENTS WILLING TO SACRIFICE THEIR SLEEP TO MAKE SURE OUR KIDS STAYED HORIZONTAL DURING THE NIGHT. THANKS TO YOU PARENTS FOR KEEPING YOUR EYES OPEN.
OFF TO THE PRACTICE FIELD.
The kids practiced very hard during the morning session. Cottrell was on his "A" game in teaching them the details over and over. I am sure it will pay off later in the day.
Now, "competition time". The Marching Chargers took to the field @ 5:45 PM. Here in Myrtle Beach, our Marching Chargers were in Class AAA, rather than AA. This forced us to compete against much larger schools than Northwood. However, the Marching Chargers stepped up to the challenge. They looked great! Everyone who attended last weeks event in Danville, saw a different band perform here in Myrtle Beach. At the end of the night, when the awards were handed out, our thoughts proved to be correct. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CHARGERS FOR SCORING AN 89.5 "SUPERIOR" RATING!! THEY FINISHED 2ND IN CLASS "AAA". OUR HORN LINE WAS AWARDED 1ST PLACE IN CLASS "AAA"!
Mr. Cottrell stated the following" I am most proud about how each band member improved individually". He said " They scored well and should be proud of themselves!
We have great memories of Myrtle Beach!! The attached photos will provide some examples of the great time we had.
Our next competition will be in 3 weeks!!! I know our Marching Chargers will continue to improve! Don't miss out on the next event!
