This entry is written three days after it happened so it might be a little
vague on details cause it's hard to remember what happened. And just a
warning these entries aren't going to be very long. Our days only go from
9 to 12, next week our days will be longer so the entries will be a little
longer.
Band Camp Day 1
Today was exciting, seeing my friends that I hadn't seen almost all summer. Our day started out with Mr. Fadden doing warm-ups and he gets kind of technical with that stuff. Mr. Fadden is the assistant director. That was pretty boring considering Mr. Fadden is annoying and I can't stand him. Then Mr. Eick cut in and had us doing chords, and they are fun and sound cool.
My other flute buddies were all there. We have an awesome section. Then we started to play some music. Johnny Quest, then Tank with Mr. Fadden because he arranged it and then Jetsons meets the Simpson's. This is all for our cheese show which is basically a funny show that we perform at football games to get ready for our real show. I love all the songs they sound awesome and can't wait to perform them in front of an audience. They are fun for both the audience and us.
After an hour or two of playing we finally got to march. We went outside with our drum major (who was our section leader last year) Shauna. She is hilarious. We learned all the basics, or I should say relearned, so all the new people could get it down. Just the basic commands and then like 4 steps. It started to pour outside while we were out there, so all the weaker sections went into the building to march in the hallway (wimps). But not the flutes, because we are not scared of a little rain that just passed over. I know this must be boring but it's how we get great shows. Anyway that was our day and then we got to go home at 12. This week band camp is 9 to 12, and then next week AKA Hell week is 9 am to 8pm. So I should have fun.
