Well people, it has been a while. I went through band camp this past week, we set the first 3 songs of drill and got most of the music worked out. This was by far the hardest band camp ive ever been through, it was alot of fundamentals the first 2 days. Hopefully the fundamentals will help us out this year so we can make state my senior year.

I just got back from the beach yesterday and it was fun. Rough at times also. i got burned pretty badly, and got my fingers slammed in a car door, but other than those few set backs it was awesome. Went to the Pavilion twice while i was there and rode the roller coaster there. It was very rough on my body, ive got the bruises on my elbows to ( Read more... )

Ok........I want to talk to a person, but have absolutely nothing to say to them. I was just wondering if any of you could help me out in this situation, and if you can, help me out cuz I really, really need this favor from you all.

Thanx

Well, they've reached a verdict on the new band director. His name is Mr. Travis Kelly, he's from Crestwood High School in Sumter. He seems like a cool guy, I met him at the USC Percussion Camp Exhibition. By the way, the camp was awesome. Four nites on the USC campus is killer though, way too much walking for me. I learned alot about my future ( Read more... )

Its also very crazy. We ( Read more... )

Spring Break sucks ass. I have to babysit my niece and both my nephews and they are some major pains. I guess it really doesnt help much that Chelsea is in Arkansas.

WOW!!!! Region band was awesome! I really enjoyed getting to know some other snare players from other schools, all were bigger than our school. We played some real awesome music too. I played on a pair of 22" cymbals that sounded awesome, if i have a cymbal bag next year, them cymbals are comin home with me. I had a great time and plan on ( Read more... )

Well well well, the competition is over and we got dead last. YEAH!!!! Our performance was horrible and not just because it was a standstill thing, the actual music was a disaster.
