FOCUS
its what band is about
i appreciate the second half of rehersal it went well after milly and josh called a silent rehersal
the show is looking really good
i know we didnt get A-Train on but i think that a good clean opener and ballad will be better than a full messy show
i hope you ahve your game face on for thursday thats gonna be a strict practice
we have to SHOW THEM what its about at the game friday though so you better kick it into high gear
PRIDE, PROMISE, POWER!!!
