Band Camp Day 2
The day started off like another great day. Mr. Fadden warmed us up and he started to get really annoying because he started to add to the warm up. He had used the chords that Eick had used yesterday and started to play with them. Ugh I couldn't have been angrier. And then Eick tells us to go outside to march.
Shauna wasn't there today, so we went with the tenor sax section. Scott Storm is their section leader he is crazy. He was putting on all these accents and talking about marching in them. He pulled out a tape measure for marching band, which show the proper step size. Then after that we went into a basics block. It wasn't to hard considering it was the 2nd day.
After that we went inside to play for two hours. We cleaned up Johnny Quest some more. We have a run of 16th notes in the song (or at least I think) and the song is in cut time. So Mr. Eick informs us that we don't have to tongue them. Then Steph who plays Piccolo says she could try. But Mr. Eick says that it is like tongue 32nd notes in 4/4. And if she can tongue that, that she was going to make some guy really happy. We got all grossed out and then he said he was talking about kissing. But yeah that wasn't funny.
After and out and a half of just the woodwinds with the brass, we went into the auditorium where the drum line and Pit had been practicing. We had to record the song Tank for the color guard. So we recorded in the auditorium with all the percussion and it didn't sound half bad. We played our hearts out and then it was time to go home again.
That night I had to go to my sisters soccer game. There I saw my section leader from last year, Tanya. She said that she would be coming Thursday to tell Mr. Eick to ask her professor to perform at our competition. I can't wait for Thursday because Tanya is well liked in our band. She is going to Mansfield University. Marching Band starts there on Saturday night when she gets there. But it will be good to see her one last time before she goes to college.
