I'm blogging less and less as the years pass.
This week, I just felt like I didn't care about band. I just wanted to get through the rehearsal.
One day, we tracked the ballad. Tracking is a technique used to learn where one set ends and the next one begins by playing the music and marching the correct number of steps in a block. I mostly had it. I still don't know the ballad music because the directors didn't give it to us until a few weeks ago. If they gave us the music a couple of months ago, I would have it memorized. I'm not quite gelled on one set. I just remember how hard tracking was freshman year. We tracked warm ups, and I couldn't do it.
We've done a total of two complete runs. Me, personally, I've done okay. As a band, it was pretty bad. I really wish we had a drum major. We wouldn't have to listen as carefully, and one person would direct us.
