Band Camp, Day Three

Great day, it rained all day so we worked on music, in small groups and in large ensemble. Ready for the rain, we planned ahead and were ready to double up on music rehearsals today. We gave some individual and large group instruction to the new band members who are doing great. We have some new instrumentalists who, in a few short days, are playing at the level of students who have been doing it for years. For breakfast we had eggs and potatoes, cereal, fruit, etc. Lunch included tacos, which you could make yourself, salad bar, and chicken salad sandwiches. Dinner included chicken teriyaki, rice, the great salad bar, and pudding for dessert. The band sounds and looks better than ever, we are making a tremendous jump in the quality level once again. The rain stopped after dinner, just a little drizzle and it looks like it will be nice out tomorrow.
