Ellenton, Florida (Rehearsals)
After three weeks off for the skaters we were on our way
back to where it all started this month last year. It’s crazy to think about how far we have come over the last
year and now we are here to start it all over again. This year though, there are a few changes; we aren’t
necessarily the exact same group and the crew is not with us either. However, some things were still the
same; the rocking chairs in the entryway of the hotel, the picnic table and
grills beside the pool right where we left them, and Freddy’s (Frozen Custard
and Burgers) across the highway!
Sometimes all that matters are the little things that keep
us going. We were back in a
familiar place with lots of familiar faces. Everything was alright. Plus, this time most of us already knew what we were doing
in the show so we may have had long days at the rehearsal facility, but we
already knew the material so it was definitely an advantage.
And even though we may not have had a day off to go back to
the beach like we did last year, having those extra weeks at home, made it all
the more worth it.
Going into another busy year this season, we first go
international before returning to states.
This may be interesting all things considered; I have only been across
the northern boarder to Canada and only for a week at a time.
This time we are heading in the opposing direction, so I
will have the opportunity to cross the southern board and into Mexico we will
go.
Bring on Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterey Bay!
Wishing everyone the best throughout this 2015-2016 tour
season and to those not returning with us, good luck!
