Lochiel Drill Team

Friday 21st July 2012

10.30am
Another sleep in! Could get used to this! Coldest morning yet but still not as cold as New Zealand! Took a stroll around Basel this morning looking for a pharmacy as the sniffles are being passed around the team at the moment :( 

2pm Training
To me the worst part about training is not 3 blocks we have to walk to get there but the million steps we have to climb as well. That aside training went really well with a few "problem areas" from last nights performances ironed out. Love short and sweet trainings! 

1st performance
Stopped at the store to stock up on some treats to get us through the night. Do a little checklist in my head to make sure I haven't forgotten anything - cant forget anything important now can we - Jacqui!! Now the performance where we are so hoping for another 10! It was a rainy one so had to be careful of the slippery drawbridge. The display went really well and the hype of the crowd always makes me smile and lifts us all. A minor hiccups in the end of the display but still pulled of a 9.5 :)

Dinner time in our uniforms- again! And being so careful not to spill my turkey and mash with gravy YUM!! 
Then in our down time we had another waiata practice as we need them ready for presentations tomorrow, don't think we're all the best singers but we'll get there with volume! 

Night show
Rain has stopped thankfully making the ground look shiny which contrasts nicely against our white boots ( well MOST of them are white aye girls!!) another good show though and our second 10!! Woo hoo!! Now its off to the cast bar we go but not for long as we've got the final day of the tattoo tomorrow complete with two performances and a 2km street march through Basel! Wish me luck!!
