Done with the Drill, Finished Set 61!
Here's a picture of Mark Carman, Frank Mauriello, Jim Downey, and Gene Bennett, some of our instructors with the marching band. We finished the drill! Now we have to put it all to music, which we did with the opener tonight. This year's drill is twice as difficult and twice as many pages as last year's drill. Mr. Bennett wrote a very challenging drill, the effects in it are mind boggling! You will be blown away when you see all the different things they are doing drill-wise on the field. In addition, the band sounds great. The music is powerful, yet beautiful. The winds are singing. The percussion is powerful and clean. The Pit, under the direction of Frank Mauriello is incredible as well and will clearly be one of the top pits on Long Island. We are setting our goals high, to win, win, win!
Breakfast today egg mcmuffins and many cereals, lunch was tacos and salad, and the dinner fare was pasta with meat or marinara sauce, again with great salad choices. The night ended with the famed Monte Monte game where Mr. Pilnick was once again the king. The kids went to bed at 11pm, the regular time and were sound asleep within minutes, resting for another day of drill and music, building the dynasty!
