So they left on Thursday morning and returned Sunday at 6:30 AM. Shawna was a walking zombie when I picked her up. They returned as happy 10th place competitors.
That sounds strange but true. Their rivals, Seward Color Guard, have become friends after a long time rivalry. Seward made it to finals and placed 5th. Not bad for a Nebraska Color Guard Team. So, although Bellevue didn't make it to finals, the girls were happy that Seward did and that they did so well. Seward and Bellevue have the same instructor so a win by one team is a win for their instructor and the other team as well.
While they were in Denver they spent hours practicing for their performance. But, all work and no play, makes Jill a dull girl. The teams visited Casa Bonita for a fine dinner and entertainment. Here's hoping I can get Shawna to sit down and write about her dining experience at Casa Bonita. They also made it to the mall for a 3 hour tour (giggle--thank goodness there wasn't a boat involved). Everyone made it home safely although VERY tired.

Sounds like it turned out well and that they had a great time. 10th place is pretty good. I know people who aren't familiar with the compeitions might not realize that, but trust me, everyone, it's a placement to be proud of.
I am glad it well. Next time anything around Denver, SLC, Billings or Rapid are well with in my travel range with notice. D
