There was a pretty shallow trench over by where we rehearsed today, and after the rain shower, it was flooded by about 1 1/2 feet. Of course, the high waters didn’t stop us. We took off our shoes and took a little run through it to cool off from the horrible humidity we had after it rained. Everyone in the pit was already drenched head to toe, so we didn’t mind getting even wetter. I’m just glad that our pit shorts are made for the water. I was kinda disappointed in the fact that we didn’t get to ensemble tonight due to the weather, but we spent a ton of time cleaning some of our exposed moments in the show and it would have been nice to apply it to the rest of the corps in the same day. I was amazed today when I finally looked around our sleeping area today during a break. Never have I ever seen such a large amount of air mattresses. You could pretty much jump and land on a mattress from any point in the room and not get hurt. The rush for electrical outlets every time we roll into a new school is gonna be absolutely ridiculous. I’m just glad my bed runs off of batteries and doesn’t have to be plugged into the wall. Scherzo archives Fox, 19, is a junior at Florida State University.
