Practice started different than usual - three "stations" were set up in the band parking lot - a backwards marching station with Eric, a sliding station with Miss Milley, and a forward marching/marking time station with our new woodwind instructor, Alyssa.
After that, we did some of our new warm-ups with the entire band before splitting into woodwind and brass sections. Both sections dove deep into the opener (the only piece we currently have), and when we put it together, it's intensity definitely rivalled that of The Rise of The Samurai Warrior, our show last year.
Stay tuned for more updates on all of our practices, football games, and competitions!
You may have noticed the color changes to the blog - they are not final, but I would like new colors to reflect our new show.
Sounds like things are in full swing. Down the road you'll have to post a vid of the band in action.
ReplyDeleteI hope too; once we get into late Summer, the staff will take videos of practice's and point out where we messed up - I'll see if it's possible to get those up, as well as videos of our actual competitions.
