Practicing, among other things

Hello everyone. Hope you've all been having a great summer break so far and all that stuff. It's Friday once again, which means it's update time. :D

Ok. So practicing. Everyone should have at least glanced at the music at this point. If for some reason you don't possess any music, feel free to ask me, Eric, your section leader, Kimball, or anybody else who might have it. Same goes for any questions you might have about the music. Feel free to ask away.

Now it's time for sectionals. So far, tenors are the only section to actually get together and work on music. Each section should have at least planned a sectional by now. As of now, there is a bass sectional scheduled for July 2nd. No word on snares yet, however -_-. There is a possible full battery rehearsal in the works at the moment. Not too sure of the specs yet, but spoiler alert - a pool will be involved. Get pumped.

As for other things to get pumped about, there are 31 days until the awesomeness of marching season starts. Now is the time to start running and doing other strength-building exercises, especially if you aren't used to getting a lot of regular physical activity. Everyone should also be practicing. I cannot stress enough how crucial it is that everyone be practicing as often as possible. I'm sure everyone has heard the phrase "You're only as strong as your weakest player." Everyone's number one goal on the first rehearsal day back from break should be to not be the weakest player. This should also be a recurring theme throughout the entire season as well. But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. As for now, everyone's main concern should be to focus on technique, ability, and music.

Speaking of music. Here's some more preseason jams. Enjoy.


Love you all. See you soon.
Forrest
