Marching Band Frustration

It was nice to have a day off from a football game, although we had the game Saturday.  

I don't particularly love football games because I feel alienated in the stands some times as my friends are all in different sections and because I don't particularly enjoy football itself.  Though I remind myself that I must soak up every moment because I have so few days left in marching band. 

With our first competition coming up soon, our directors have put the pressure on seniors and section leaders to pressure the band.  Some new members just don't "get" marching band: Neither I nor anyone else knows how to help them.  We try telling them, yelling at them, correcting them and it doesn't work. I just try to encourage them when they do something well.
