Mellophone: Marching French Horn
It's finally Friday!! I have good news family: Liz has successfully survived her marching pre-camp week. It was intense, grueling, and there were tears. I barely made it. Just kidding. This is my 3rd year doing MB (I started in 8th grade) and I must say it is much easier after you've been doing it a while. The entire thing has come much more naturally to me. In today’s drill down (which is like Simon says MB style, when you mess up you have to leave the block we're marching in. Last person sanding wins) I was in the top five. Ok so maybe pretty much half the band was out because our teacher kinda threw in a trick command. But still. I didn't fall for it. I was bringing my A game. Also we were doing an exercise where we pretty marched a star design. It was oblique exercises (which are moves when you march in a diagonal.) And let me tell you. Dressing (which is like making sure your still in line with everybody.) Its really hard when doing obliques. Anyways at the end the exercise my band teacher told the line I was in that we were PEREFCT! so overall I had a great pre-camp. It was much more fun being used to the whole system and the music is a lot of fun also. Our songs are:
Big Fat bottom Girls-opener
Crazy little thing called love
Bohemian Rhapsody
Pretty flippin’ sweet. But the real work starts next week. We’ll be doing our drill and working on the music a lot more. We’ll also be using our instruments now. Super pumped about that one. Also because of the positive response to my questions I’ll be doing them again. Which are still totally optional.
Greg- What is your favorite tv show at the moment.
Bill- Who is your favorite patriot player. Why?
Anne- Favorite band?
Frank- What is the best part about going back to school.
