Band Camp Day 2
Okay, so Band Camp is going by awfully slow...I kinda want it to end already, but I'm continuing to be positive because I'm supposed to be a role model, blah blah blah.
Anyways, after seeing the first song Respect cleaned up a bit and with the playing of the band constantly improving, I'm getting even more excited that the half-time show is going to start off with a BANG!!
Despite yesterday's playing of In the Midnight Hour sounding great, on the field, it sucks the big one. Trumpets can't play it, colorguard can't stay in a single file line, and the low brass likes to slow things down. Now, I know that it's only the first day that we've done this song, so I have high hopes that it will improve itself...still hoping...hope's lost...
Burkett thinks that we'll finish the whole entire third song in two hours after dinner...*snicker* is she high?!
The sun continues to burn little holes in my mind, melting it even further, and my stupid farmer's tan is coming back...fudge...
Band kids need to get energized and excited...I mean, I kinda don't want to be there, but you don't see me bringing everyone else around me down...I find strength to push on and do it, and other people just need to suck it up and do the same.
Hopefully, things will go better tonight...
Also, I called Eric last night, and I was glad that after the first day of band camp, I was able to just settle down and talk...god, it's only been about 3 days now and I'm already missing the guy...this is going to be a LONG week...
