Thanks to everyone for tolerating the EARLY start to the day, which made for a quiet first few hours, at least. We had a nice breakfast stop at a very accommodating Cracker Barrel in Baton Rouge, Louisiana about 7:45 or so.
After several hours of heavy rain, the skies began to clear once we entered Texas. We enjoyed a lunch stop at the San Jacinto Mall east of Houston, and arrived at our hotel only 10 minutes or so after the scheduled time. That gave us plenty of time to get checked in and situated before heading out for a wonderful evening on the Riverwalk.
Dinner was at Cafe Ole, followed by a river cruise. It was a beautiful night, and all in all, a great way to top off a long travel day. The students are conducting themselves wonderfully, and everyone is enjoying the time together.
A quick reminder of the basic schedule for Friday:
10:00 - 12:00 - Rehearsal at Aztec Indoor Soccer
2:00 - 4:00 - Small groups with chaperones to the Alamo, the mall, or the Riverwalk
6:30 - Depart hotel for the Alamodome
8:15 - JACKSON ACADEMY BAND PRELIMINARY PERFORMANCE
