Band Camp Day 4
Today was an eventful day. Tyler, a senior last year, came in the morning. We ended up going outside right away. Shauna had us for a couple minutes but she had to do drum major stuff so we ended up with Scott toward the end. Scott helped us with the backward marching. Dayna, another senior form last year, came around that time. We finally went into a basics block.
While at the ready, Mr. Eick explained the assistant drum Major competition so that we would understand what was happening. We have a Junior and Senior assistant drum major and the Junior assistant becomes the Drum Major next year. There are 3 candidates for both categories and they will be conducting, running basics block, and stuff like that. We get to vote and then Mr. Eick has the last say. All of our candidates are very good except maybe Teddy.
After an hour and a half of marching we went inside and did music secitionals but we didn't go outside. We mainly worked on Johnny Quest and that was that. We rejoined all the other members in the band room and went over Johnny Quest, Tank and a song from our Comp show called Second Advent.
After about 15 minutes we went into the auditorium to play with the percussion. I saw that Vince, last years Drum Major and Jen, another senior from last year, were there. I was glad to see Vince. We ran through Johnny Quest and caught a couple problems, so we ended up doing the ending over and over again. Tanya came as she said as she said she would. We got to take a 5-minute break and I went over to say hello. I got a hug from Vince. Then me and the other flutes talked to Tanya.
We ended up playing Tank, Shauna started to conduct it. Vince kept giving her pointers, then we played Jetson's/Simpson's for the percussion. We ended the day with Second Advent, and ended 5 minutes early.
