Wacky practice, check. Van with hitch, check. Trailer reservation, check.
We had our last practice tonight before leaving tomorrow. Seemed to perfectly illustrate something my high school band director always believed in, that a lousy last practice means a great performance. We all made some really bone-headed mistakes (some never-before seen!), and we each did a once-over on problem songs. But I think we’ll do well, since no matter what happens, we keep going and hide things well. We were all either really tired or had bad days, so maybe it’s good we got that out of our system.
We picked up the van this afternoon, too, complete with an installed trailer hitch and electrical components. I like it because if you take the ball off, the rest of the hitch remains under the van and pretty much unseen. AND, the SO seems to have found a U-Haul location that not only will rent us a 5×8 trailer, but seems certain they actually have one in stock for tomorrow. We are both going to hold our breath until we see it attached to the van.
Go ahead, have your say!
