That was a stupid-sick situation. I was marching Northern Aurora that summer, and we were told that when we did our quarterfinals performance in the afternoon, the on-field temperature was 130 degrees. It was 90+ all week in Jackson, MS, humid as all get out,w with zero chance of rain. Unless you were the Madison Scouts at finals. It rained -no, PORED- only for intermission and their entire show. Then stopped. Amazing.
Like was said above, if anything, I think it helped their performance. They took it as an affront.
