Band Camp, Day Five
Once again, a perfect day to teach marching. Cloudy and in the mid seventies. We finished up to drill sets 27 which leaves only 4 more sets to complete the show. The band looks great, and we finished the music and drill for 5 of the six tunes. Then after dinner we worked on the closer, Ode to Joy, memorizing that as well. Meals were egg mcmuffins for breakfast with sausage patties, pizza for lunch, and hamburgers for dinner. There was always the regular fruits and salad bars available as well. It remained cloudy, which is good in terms of not getting sunburn. Tonight was skit night as well, and each group got to do a little five minute show for the entire band. The colorguard looks phenomenal. They are also doing their choreography with their drill and are on track to a great visual package for the band. Friday and Saturday are supposed to be nice out, so we will definitely have no problem in finishing the preparation of this show. The kids are in good spirits and psyched up for this year's season.
