Palm Beach State Show #4!

Today was another day at Palm Beach State - although this time we were back at the Lake Worth Campus. It was a bit chilly... in the 50's for the show... but after this weekend, that didn't seem so bad.

But somehow, even though we were under a covered stage and the sun was behind the clouds for most of the show... James' head STILL managed to get sunburned! Poor thing. He always gets sunburned even when it doesn't seem possible.

The show went really well... it seemed like it was gonna be stressful when we started. A very upset teacher came out venting about how he had students taking an exam and there just COULDN'T be music going on. Things like this happen a lot at campuses. And it puts everyone in a tough spot. I mean... we need to fulfill our contract, but obviously we don't want to be a bother to people! So we just told him, we would not soundcheck or make ANY noise until we were scheduled to start playing and do whatever we could to help. But there isn't much else we can do because those things are not our call. They have to be taken up with someone in charge.

BUT!!!! It all worked out great! No one seemed to have an issue once we started playing, and we got nothing but happy responses from crowds and teachers. One teacher came up to me on a set break and said "I HATE country music. But I love you guys! Can I buy a cd?" ; )~ LOVE IT!

All the clubs and organizations at the school were set up and having sign-ups at their booths. Plus there was free food and a beautiful court yard to enjoy. Plus us!

And I broke my mic clip during the show!!! What is it with me lately? I keep breaking very unlikely things.... locks... mic clips... I had to jump off the stage and find another one because my mic wouldn't stay in the stand anymore!


I got a lesson in being prepared :)


I just noticed that guy in the background has a UNICYCLE!


Zach's loading out skills are impressive!!! He fit his ENTIRE bass rig on top of David's Amp!!!


Signed up for my twitter WHILE at the show... I love technology.


Peace. Love. Fiddle.
