Okay, so i've never done a blog for a marching band before, so this is a new experience for me. I guess if i was writing a blog about me, i'd tell people about my life at that particular time. so If i'm writing a band blog, as an officer, i guess i could tell everybody about what's up with the band right now. so here goes.
Only 3 days left until THE SHOW. the first show. I'm pretty excited because the first show almost always gets the best reaction from the crowd. after that, they remember some of the drill, and the surprising moments aren't quite as effective. but the adrenaline that pumps through you when you first walk out from that road between the field house and the home side of the stadium for the first home game and the crowd hasn't seen you in a year and is going absolutely bonkers makes you feel 10 feet tall and bulletproof. I can't wait.
having said that, there's a ton of work to do before then, on everybody's part. Rehearsing and memorizing music, Getting our drill comfortable, marching correctly, the whole 9 yards. And the officers still have to finish hemming a couple of uniforms. The band I think grabbed ahold of the pressure we're under on monday, so now everybody seems to be in the zone, if just for the last week before our first show.
Today, hopefully, we still have band! because we really need the rehearsal time. remember, if you haven't gotten a text from Broadtexter and responded with a "Y" then you won't get the final word on todays rehearsal and you'll have to ask around.
oh, yeah, so this is the first post from the new band office! We've just finished moving from the old band office (which is now Ashleys office) to the offices behind the band room, between the huge storage room and the practice rooms. Have a great spiritual emphasis week, practice hard, and come say hi to us in the new officers office! (it's like....lonely in here)
