This will be my last Bowl trip with the band. Physically it's just very hard on my body. My body is so stiff, my knees don't bend, my hands and fingers don't work as they once did. I'm afraid my feet will swell up and add to my walking problems. I'm nervous about this trip, but I have committed and I'm going.
Tim has a really busy schedule and I'm going to pick and choose the things I can do. The big day if Friday. We have rehearsal at 8am, then off the Bogus Basin for hours of snow till 3pm. Then upon return the pep band will play then the rest of the band is going to a hockey game to play the National Anthem and again during the break. They are walking to the Arena and this is a challenge. I think I will pass on the Hockey and go to the snow. I can always walk to the Lodge and just hang out there. Saturday is game day with early rehearsal, lunch at the bus, game then dinner at the bus again. I'm suppose to fly back with Jennifer, Tim wife on the charter. Tough to be in two places, feeding the band and finding my flight buddies. I'll just play it by ear.
I hope this trip goes well, I did go last year, but I had my own vehicle. This year I'm on the bus. It's all good, they will just have to be patient with me and I'll just have to push myself a little more than usual. Go Dogs!
The bus leave at 11pm tonight and will get into Boise on Thursday after a few stops for lunch and rehearsal should pull into the hotel around 5 pm. We return following the Northern Illinois game around 8pm Saturday. I hope it doesn't rain or snow, or it could be a cold trip. More on this trip when I return. Til then...
