May 18 practice

Is it possible that we are almost halfway through the month of May? Where does the time go? That means we only have just over two weeks of practice before our big "debut" at the Flint Hills Children's Festival on June 3. The organizers of that event are so excited to have the Library Reading Divas Book Cart Drill Team participating in their ARTmoves parade. They had invited us to do a perfomance on stage that afternoon also, but we just didn't have enough time this year to pull it together.

We have another practice scheduled for tonight with at least half of the team planning on attending. It sure has been a challenge to get the entire team together at one time...I suspect we won't actually be able to do a full team rehearsal until the day of the parade!

This will be the first practice date that the weather has been warm enough to allow us to go outside and practice. It'll be interesting to find out if the routine we've been practicing on nice even floors will be as simple to do on an uneven asphalt surface.
