Band Camp Day III

It really frustrated me that the directors didn't give me adequate time to learn the opener drill that I missed on Monday: I wouldn't have been able to learn that drill that quickly if I weren't jet lagged.  I essentially had to ask my band mates where my set was and try to get somewhere near there. 

We did a run of the first two parts of the show.  I had a mind blank a few times where I couldn't remember the music.  With my exhaustion, a tough set where I have to move a big distance backwards, and repetitive music, I struggled to make a set.  I felt as if I were a first year band member again.

Overall, the work ethic of this band impresses me: everyone for the most part doesn't relax until told to, everyone mainly pays attention and doesn't talk.  We're learning drill at a decent pace.
