My understanding is that the tornado warning was for St. Mary's County in Maryland.

Having said this, there is significant weather activity throughout the Metro area, with more expected throughout the evening.

Headed for the stadium - hoping for the best.

I really don't understand the need for an INT. I went to an Open Class show the other night and they had more corps than this with no INT. For a smaller show like this I think its pointless.

Careful - the INT borg is pretty powerful around here. Don't want to rile them up, if you know what's good for you... :tongue:
