Good Morning friends... well it's afternoon here..
We're live and in Glasgow and finally back online.
We had a fantastic trip to Ottawa, Saturday Maxville was a special treat and surprise.
The Band had absolutely fantastic plays the Medley was rockin and the MSR was strong and confident.
When the smoke cleared we not only clinched 2nd place, we manage to win best pipe corp in the MSR, and best drum corp in the Medley. Smiles all around.
We spent the evening in the beer tent talkin with people and trading pats on the back then Sunday we were airborne for Scotland.
We had to pretty sick folks on the plane. Kyla, my sister, seems to have contract ebola or some God awful flu, and Geordie our main man tenor champ, was in grand spirits getting on the plane, but as things go it wore off and he may have passed out and fallen on a bulkhead. Personally I think he was trying to meet our stewardesses but he was a little roughed up in London. (just kiddin Geordie)
So we're in Glasgow, as of last night, we even practiced straight off the plane. I'm happy to say even at 8:30 practice this morning everyone was up and running. We have had great weather but it's supposed to rain tomorrow.
This is the hardest few days. We've been away from family, ill fed, and poorly rested, everyone is a little short in the fuse. But surprisingly we're all in great spirits and can't wait for the next practice. I can hear a drum pad right now.
We're all very thankful for the wonderful messages of support and congratulations we very much appreciate it, we're do our best to make everyone proud this coming weekend and at the World's the weekend after.
I'd like to say, I hope there isn't much of a story for tomorrow's blog... but we all know something funny will happen tonight and I'll paraphrase it for those back home.
Cheers everyone, I'm off to the Todd!
Sean
