Band Camp Day II

Yay!  Another day of band camp has gone by sucessfully. 

One thing I don't like about band camp, besides the weather, is the schedule.  In some ways, I'd rather have more four hour days than less eight hour days.  That way I could do more on band camp days.  Also, I find it hard to have energy and focus for an entire nine hours.  Also, the first three days are 12 noon to 9:00.  Friday and Saturday are 8-5.  Thursday night, I'll go to bed around 10:15, and Friday morning, I'll get up around 6:50.  Even my band director said that Friday morning comes fast.  I'm exhausted, and I slept in until 8:00!

Yesterday was exhausting.  At the end, I mentally checked out.  I didn't want to check out, yet I still did.  We learned this "follow the leader" set, and I didn't get it, so my section leader had to explain everything to me.  Also, the sets we were learning were with the music that is a two measure phrase that repeats 14x. 

I was just too overwhelmed to play.  Plus, I missed 10 minutes to try on uniforms, so I was trying to make drill up.  I could barely do everything they were asking of me.

The visual at the beginning is really annoying.  We're laying on the ground, and the pavement was extremely hot. 

Two down, I think six more to go! :)
