After another grueling 3-hour practice, the band is finally ready for the Memorial Day parade. With all of America The Beautiful memorized, and the entire band well-practiced in turning corners, we are all thoroughly prepared for the upcoming parade.
The practice started off with a quick, 20-minute warm up, and followed with the woodwinds and brass splitting off into sections. We shaped up our knowledge of America The Beautiful, then joined the brass, color guard, and drum line in the marching block, where we shaped up our marching.
This was followed by a great deal of time marching around the high school parking lot, periodically practicing America The Beautiful while simultaneously practicing our marching around corners. It was tedious, but I cannot say it was not productive.
And while our parade is coming up, excitement for the "season kick-off" meeting is building. This Wednesday, we will finally learn this year's show & theme...
