Day Four

It's day four now... Only one more to go...

 

Well, yesterday was much, much better than the day before. Things sort of relaxed some, though there still some obvious tension.

 

Methinks I've been forgetting to tell more about what we do... We don't just march and play music. Oh, no. We couldn't possibly do that for only ten hours a day. Thus, our band director plans a marching competition and a random game at about 3-3:30; just before the two hour break for supper. And out of the ~80 members in the band (Majorettes and Guard included), I some how placed second. Something a guy, apparently, hasn't done for, like, ever. Odd, no? So, of course, I was nervous, and when I shifted just a tad, it was too obvious and I was kicked out - I probably would've gotten away with it if we were still in a group and everybody wasn't watching just myself and the other person...

For us, the March-Offs are generally won by the brass section, with percussion in second, generally between a guy and a girl. Sometime they end up with percussion in first, but somehow brass manages to stay on top most of the time (of course, woodwinds generally beats us in musical skill, not that any one group is bad at any of these things in particular).

 

Yeah, so congrats. Those things are hard (I once got sixth or seventh, but got out because I neglected to roll my feet for a second), so maybe as the season progresses, you'll get first. Cheers!
