We had rehearsal last night, as usual. Rehearsal felt long and tedious. We had to run the same fifteen seconds many times, and connect it to the other pasts. So we did the end of the opener for most of the time, the end of the third part, and a run. Stretched out to two and a half hours. It was kind of breezy out, and since the Summer Solstice has past, the days are getting shorter. That's nice, because it means that you don't constantly have the sun beating down on you and glaring in your face. We practiced for a while without the color guard.
I can't believe we only have about four more rehearsals until our first competition. For me, that's a scary thought. What motivated me is that my band director told everyone that he's going to have helpers follow people around to see if they're playing, since he feels that a lot of the band isn't playing. I wasn't really playing until about a week ago. I decided that I'll play as much as I can now. Before, I would play when we were at a hold and when we were in a block just moving forward. I'm trying now to play when we marching in a line, and as much as possible.
The title of this post was after one statement my directors use often.
