24 hours ago, my alarm went off: 3:00 AM.
4:10 AM – Call time for Sarah and the rest of the show choir at the high school.
4:40 AM – Three busses roll out toward Anderson High School, 90 minutes away. I am driving the equipment truck. Melissa is by my side.
8:30 AM – Sarah’s first performance. They did great.
3:30 PM – Sarah’s second performance.
From here on out, it is a blur. I try several times to find a quiet, comfortable place to nap. The floor of a classroom is only intermittently quiet and not comfortable at all.
6:00 PM – It is confirmed that both of Sarah’s groups have made it into finals. It will be a late night.
7:30 PM and 10:00 PM – Sarah performs again.
Midnight – Winners are announced. Both of Sarah’s groups win First Runner Up. The students are pretty happy with the outcome.
1:00 AM – I think – We are ready to drive back home.
3:00 AM – Melissa, Sarah, and I walk back into our house. The dogs are jubilant.
3:05 AM – I write this for the blog because … habit. (I must write something!)
Tomorrow, I will add some photos. But too bleary eyed to do it now. Praying tomorrow’s preaching doesn’t suffer too greatly! Service starts in about 7 hours!
