Practice Picks Up

Our second practice for marching band went much better than the first. Because we are practicing for the upcoming Memorial Day Parade, seniors were present, and it felt like we were getting "the gang" back together.

Having seniors there definitely improved the group's morale, and we got a lot accomplished. Although for veterans like me, it was quite boring. Learning something you already learned is one thing, but we're learning something we learned, mastered, and then got first place in the region for being so good at.


However, we also have a new clarinet player, which certainly improved my morale. She plays first chair in the middle school, so we will hopefully be just as good as last year.

We only have a few more practices until May 20, our "Season Kick-Off" meeting, where we will learn this year's show and prepare for the parade.
