Last Rehearsal of the Year

The last rehearsal was incredible! I cannot believe how great the band looks! There wasn't a peep on the field as we did the basics block for 30 minutes. Our drill instructor Jim Downey (uncle Jimmy) taught the band the left block move and the right block move. This incorporates virtually every marching move which we will use in the show. Not only did the band accomplish this task, but they did it with intensity and excitement. Counting out throughout the practice, it is obvious that the program is growing beyond belief! And the freshman class, Wow! They are incredible as well. Thanks to the music teachers in our district who have taught them, they are skilled and anxious to learn. Once again, we are a competetive band, so we are constantly aiming to "win" whenever we compete! We get judged by six to twelve judges, depending upon the competition so this is the real thing! I flew home on Wednesday night, I was so excited by the whole attitude of the band. Once again, they are stepping up year after year. This will truly be one of the top bands on the island in a very short time! Thanks to everyone and have a great Summer! Remember to get those forms in!
