A.N. Another chapter about marching band, and our wonderful drumline!
Marching Band started about 5 months ago, its been amazing. Although at first I thought it was simply distasteful I understand why we started. We already have the first 12 bars of our cadences down. Let me tell you, having your drum instructor writing the cadences right after he watches Drumline is not fun. They were a little difficult at first, but they sound amazing.
My best friend decided to join so now I have someone to hang out with. Although she's pretty good, she doesn't practice therefore won't get better. The only problem with Marching Band starting this early, is that I play Lacrosse (woot! #1 in conference, yay baby) so band starts at 5, practice ends 5:30ish....see the dilemma?
Also we found out our theme for this year "Pirates of the Caribbean" its going to be amazing. I think I've actually gotten a lot better since we started practice. Although my section leader is still one of the biggest assholes in existence, he's gotten better. We have 8 people on the line this year, we only have 1 opening since last year...we have 1 bass, that's it, so there's gonna be massive amounts of competition. I think I'm the only one who doesn't havta try out! Which I am glad about.
I wish everyone the best of luck in there upcoming seasons. I hope everyone succeeds what they want to. Remember its not how good you play its how hard you march...er...yah that quote doesn't work for Marching Band it's a quote coach told us, "It's not how hard you shoot, it's how hard you play" I guess it didn't work as well I had hoped. But good luck everyone, and I'll try to update this!!
