We headed to Daytona Beach yesterday for the JV guards last competition of the season. Varsity performs today.
What a long day! I ferried 5 girls including mine for the 2 hours over. We spent the whole day at the convention center. They pulled a few floors for other schools and performed a little after 8pm. They did so well! This is a state competition so there were 17 teams in their group. They placed 4th and improved their point score each competition. They were 2 point from a medal. The coach said it was the highest score recieved for the school in her 4 years of coaching.
There were some issues and all kids handled them well.
One uniform had some transfer from a late washing Wednesday night. Hopefully it is not noticeable today on the floor.
After awards, we went out for pizza and wings as is tradition. I might have taken a wrong turn so Emily directed me there. We had a blinking yellow. The other car had a red. Yup, the were going. Thankfully no contact and we continued on our way. Parked on the street and I walked them the block to the restaurant. A few others parked in a waffle house. It was after 10pm. When we were leaving around 11:30, 3 of the waffle house parked cars were towed. All the props and costumes and luggage in them!
I drove my crew back, the others walked with chaperones the 17 minute walk. One car took the towed owners to the impound lot. $170 each but got the vehicles and settled in to the hotel by 1:30am.
Breakfast got pushed to 11am. Varsity performs late afternoon.
It has been an eventful time so far. Emily and I are staying until Sunday. Let's hope today goes smoothly.
A few photos.
Beach photo when we first got to Daytona about 1pm.
Time to help with breakfast and more advice for the headache.

what a day you had and all those towed cars that is too bad, what rotten luck that was.
I hope you, and all the girls, are having a good time, in spite of the car issues. So glad the team did well! And that view from your hotel room - beautiful!
