We started out a little bit differently today. Due to the smoke from the fire, we decided to do our daily sectionals. We worked on touching up our first movement for our field show, as well as trying to memorize most of it. We then practiced (in our separate sections) the star spangled banner.
Next, we had lunch, and then the equipment crew took stuff down to the field. Unfortunately, the lines that were made for us the day before were gone. :( So we used number markers.
We then taught everyone how to read drill sheets, and marked our music.
Then we took off towards the field, and practiced the first four sets. (Keep in mind that our goal is to get AT LEAST the first 4 sets completed by the end of the day!
And now... for an exciting announcement!!!! We not only completed the first 4 sets, but we completed...........the first 7 sets!! We then moved on to playing our instruments at the same time we did the 7 drill sets, which was exciting. Unfortunately it was so hot outside, so our instruments were really sharp!
A big thank you to the band moms for bringing us water, and Gatorade to drink during breaks!! You are greatly appreciated!!
We ALL are looking forward to tomorrow, and we are going to have a blast!
Band members... Don't forget that tomorrow is Disney day!! And be sure to bring PLENTY of water!! Don't forget your sunscreen!! See you all tomorrow!
Sincerely. Your Friend,
