Sorry I haven't updated. Eeekkk, all this marching band and I can't seem
to get any time on the Computer.
Band Camp Days 11, 12, and 13 M & Tu= 9 to 12 Wens = 3 to 6
Monday was sort of a relaxed day as we added music to Jetson's meets Simpson's. We went set by set and it was kind of boring. We weren't in any trouble that much. Our show was coming together but it was going to take a while. We don't really have a lot of time in marching basics so we are sagging in the marching department. Our entire band stretched again which isn't actually that boring anymore. It's quite interesting, funny even. Tuesday was a little warm and we started with the stretches. Low Brass thinks they are cool and are trying to steal our tree(our tree is the place where we put our crap when we are outside) The Guard stole theirs. We then proceeded into clean up Simpson's/ Jetson's which was getting on Mr. Eick's nerves. We added a few more movements to make it a little cheesier for the football game. We didn't want to follow the DM at all. It sounded like Mr. Eick was crying too, but it could've been from the Long Ranger (This is a machine to amplify your voice so we can here Mr. Eick). We ended the day bad and we didn't get much done. But I went home and I rested up a lot. Today was awesome; it was great. We got a lot done. We didn't have to stretch because the instructor wasn't there. But that meant Scott stretched us and we did the toe-tapping thing. It's a really fun stretch that stretches the calf muscles. We marched on grass in Sects today; it wasn't fun because the grass wasn't in the greatest condition. It wasn't the football field. Then Mr. Eick did basics block for a good 45 minutes. He had us march without instruments, then with clapping, then finally with our instruments. Kharl showed up, he helped a lot last year. We got through Simpson's meets Jetson's and then went on to Johnny Quest, which Mr. Eick said was good considering we hadn't touched it in a couple days. Then we went to Tank, it was kind of hard to do that one since a lot of people were missing. Then we ran through the entire cheese show TWICE. At the end of Johnny, instead of having nothing to free form to the next set, the PIT is playing the theme to Super Mario Bros. We get to dance and have fun. Man I am tried, but tomorrow I get to go school shopping and the football game is 2 days away. My first day of school is next Tuesday. I know, I know my school is messed up but we are only having a football game before all the other schools around us are already started.
