One week until our little band makes it to competition! Yay! There is light at the end of this tunnel!
During crunch time, we've had our DI team come over several nights each week to finish preparing for their big day. They have been busy painting backdrops for the performance and constructing a unicorn.
The boys worked hard at painting the village Sarah sketched onto a bed sheet:

Cause we wanted to be original and took the pointillism approach to paint it exclusively with thumbprints. Sigh. It seemed like such a good idea at the beginning... but over 100 hours of work later, we no longer thought so. It took weeks to finish this one backdrop, and it's not even worth very many points.
Ah well. At least it looks cool. And -who knows?- maybe the judges will love it and grant the award for extra creativity.

We can do this, right? Right? Of course we can!
And when it's all over, I am leaving for a week in Bermuda. You should take two weeks in Hawaii. You've earned it!
