Oak-laaaaa-home-haaaaaa, where the wind...

Friday, July 29th

I am sitting in the press box of Finley Stadium in Chattanooga, TN at this very moment. We have been going and going since my last full length post last Tuesday which covered up until Monday or so. Much has happened since then, but here is what happened in Okalahoma:

Tuesday July 26th 2011

We arrived in Edmond, Oklahoma at a giant high school that consisted of many buildings. We set up the food truck near the existing cafeteria and began operations. It was hot in Oklahoma, just as how as was in Texas, for the most part. It was a red letter day, however, because we did not reach triple digits, it reached 99. The Cadets had a great field to practice on and they, as is usual, spent much of they on it after they got a couple of hours of time sleeping on the floor of one of the auxiliary gyms. We did the usual on the food truck, and we were happy to see that the fridge was working well and keeping the correct temperature. There was some excitement in the air because we were going to be in a show that featured The Cavaliers. George Hopkins decided that a daily meeting with the Food Vols would be good, and so we have a meeting with him every morning 90 minutes after breakfast. It has been awesome because not only does he let us know what is going on with the daily plan as well as letting us know what is going on with the Show and changes that are coming and things they are working on. It is really great insight into the working of the Corps.

That evening we headed over to the show site in Yukon, OK. I was able to get a few shots of the Brass warm-up. Some shots from the warm-up:

The show was excellent! We ended up winning with The Cavaliers coming in a very close second. Here are some shots from the show:

That evening we fed the kids and headed off for Little Rock, a pretty long drive.
