Today was the first practice or event for marching band. My first impression was that the band has really shrunk. People were prrobably on vacation or other places. There weren't that many freshmen, and no freshman flautists. It was so strange not having the seniors that already graduated and new, incoming freshmen.
We were in basics block, sort of going over what we do and doing a little bit. It was easier than it was last year, since I knew a little bit more of what I was doing. It felt so unfamilier to me at the beginning, since I hadn't marched in basics block in a long time. It was all relatively basic, just stretching and some simple direction changes. Things started to gradually come back.
After that, we went over warm ups. We haven't looked at any of the actual music or learned any sets yet. I'm so glad I have a little bit better of an idea of what I'm doing. It was kind of boring having my band director go over basic marching technique, but he kind of had to for the freshmen.
It's weird for me, not having last season's drum major. I have to reajust to the heat. We weren't really moving that much, but I was getting really hot.
I'm hoping this season will be easier than lasts!
