The Kentucky school show and concert went well! I surprisingly didn't find myself tired after the concert, although during the show I definitely pushed myself. It's too bad there are no more concerts for the rest of the tour though - no chance to improve on the little things I could have done better!
We drove to Huntsville, Alabama the next day and found ourselves staying at a hotel literally a stone's throw away from a Space Shuttle! Turns out there's a Space Center run by NASA next to us, with rockets, planes, and yes - an actual Space Shuttle that you can see from outside our windows. It was a lot of fun wandering around there on our day off.
We're now at the Von Braun center, where we had 2 school shows yesterday (~1000 kids each) and then we did a couple of workshops for Huntsville Drumline, a non-profit that teaches marching percussion to kids. The kids were a lot of fun to work with, and the highlight for a lot of them (and for a lot of us) was watching each other perform!
We have one more gig tomorrow night for a private event, then fly back Friday. It's been a good tour overall with just enough downtime, and the next tour will be in the Fall. I'll be back to regular postings on Monday!
