I've always thought our marching band teacher was insane. I don't blame her though. After 30 years of conducting and marching and arranging and band camps who wouldn't? But the fact that she puts our first marching band practice the day schools ends is horrible! We haven't gotten the fact that our school year has ended and we're being bombarded with sheet music, drills, and memorization tests.
Insanity.
I guess knowing how to deal with that kinda stress makes us mature as high schoolers.
Band camp is coming up. Normally I'd be counting the days till I'm able to get away from home and spend five days in the hot sun learning our drill for this year. But this year's different. Recently I was named Field Commander of our band along with two others (I'm the lowest in rank because I am the youngest and a sophomore) and we have to go to field commander camp for three days before band camp.
Now, normally I'd be o.k. with all this because I chose being a band geek. I love band! ...but we're moving soon. It's closer to the school and everything but sadly this situation had scattered all my band camp stuff in several different boxes. Hopefully I'll be able to find them in time.
