Show Buzz #2

D34!

Another show added and another and another.  That is basically the story each week.  If our schedule wasn’t busy enough, it just keeps picking up. 

Even the smaller cities are just as busy.  Things never slow down.  Somehow though, we are still trying to find time to enjoy some time on the road. 


We were also in need of a girl’s day and lets just say that chocolate-covered strawberries, popcorn, lollipops, and a roomful of girls watching “Blades of Glory” may be the funniest thing ever.


And if that wasn’t enough of a laugh then seeing a skater going for a swim in the lake behind the building after the soccer ball definitely would catch your attention.  However, the crew out-smarted the skaters and were able to rescue the ball again, but this time without getting wet. 


After everything and everyone got out of the water and dried off, it was time to get on the move.  Bring on the country!!


It was time to head to the Rascal Flatt’s concert at the Grand Ole Opry!! The country theme seemed to encompass the whole week, even the Happy Helper Auction!


We were able to raise over $15,000!!


With such an Olympic performance at the auction it was only fitting to have the “Olympic Park Picture Challenge” in Atlanta by our Performance Director in between shows of our first 9-pack of the season. 


Then, unfortunately we hit the “struggle bus” when the cast and crew were unable to check in for our flight from Atlanta to Hershey and topping it all off, 38 bags got left behind.  In the end though, everyone made the flight and the bags were returned. 

After that, we all needed a pick-me-up and that came later on in the week, but before the fun could happen, it was time to take to the ice for the earliest show ever at 9:30 AM! 


Conquering that early show, we were off to Hershey Park for some amusement park fun!

Sticking with the busy schedule and small amounts of time to sleep and sight see, we are still trying to make the most of it. 


Heading back to Virginia for the third time already this year and only a short distance away from our nation’s capital we were at the famous George Mason University campus. 

Keeping our spirits high, we are looking to hit our 100th show within the next few weeks!

See you around the corner!
