A Tale of Two Competitions

Pete and the Broad Run Marching Spartans were away at a competition from 8:15am until 9:30pm at the Millbrook HS "Battle on the Blue Ridge". They did a great job (despite not having their uniforms yet) - 1st place win (out of 4 bands), as well as securing all captions in their Class. With a score of 78.98, the Marching Spartans also scored Best Overall Music, Best Overall Percussion, and were named Grand Champions of the competition.

Meanwhile, Dad and Sam went to Fredericksburg for a Melee tournament at UMW. Sam started off well, defeating Kenpachi 2-1 (Falco ditto) although being down to his last life. He lost to Joak, who was the top seed and ended up winning the tournament.  Sam lost his next match in the lower bracket. After the tournament, Sam and Dad walked around campus a bit – getting some pizza, pokestops, and defeating a gym before arriving home at 9:30pm.
