Dear Marvelous Marchers,
I hope you guys aren't too overwhelmed with everything that the first few weeks of class brings! I'm so proud of everything that we have been accomplishing in rehearsals, and I appreciate your dedication to our program.
As we keep preparing our show, I encourage you to stay focused on our most immediate goal: Our first performance!
Between band camp and our first performance, it's easy to forget why we do what we do, which is perform foremost for God and second for our university. We get so caught up in learning our music and our moves that we forget to look ahead towards the final goal. Isn't it the same in our Christian lives? We get so wrapped up in our day-to-day lives that we forget our ultimate goal, which is to further God's Kingdom.
Don't get me wrong, marching band isn't ALL work. When you step into a packed stadium for the first time or get your first standing ovation, the hard work has suddenly paid off. You forget the days that you sweltered in the grueling humidity, or the 15 times that you ran back and forth between the same set.
As we rehearse this week, think ahead to Saturday! Get in the mindset of doing everything better with each repetition. Don't lose your drive and your focus, and press on towards the prize in both your marching and in your Christian life as well. Don't forget that what we do is ALL for God's glory and pleasure.
See you on the field!
Amy Fox

P.S. If you run, there's a breeze!
