Classes have started. So far, I haven't been to one because it was cancelled. So here's the run-through ( Read more... )

I got a wicked bad sunburn today from rehearsal and the concert. But the concert was good and I got to see Claire, my parents, and Bill. We went to Ruby Tuesday and had some good food and just hung out. Tomorrow I start my classes so I'll see how that goes.

Peace out,

today we had a crazy rehearsal trying to finish everything off. Then we played for the freshman. We ran into the gym and the floor was like 3 inches off the ground. So many people fell it was not cool and then the freshman like were leaving as we started playing. Not cool. Then we had an evening rehearsal and it started raining harder and ( Read more... )

Both of my roommates have moved in, I've met one, the one I've talked to. The one I haven't really talked to I still haven't met yet, but he's moved in. I think we'll be fine on space, and it seems pretty decent. Marching band is getting better and better. Our new mellophones came in which is going to be super awesome.

Peace out,

Pain is the name of the drills we did with walking across the field (90 yards) with 6 steps to every 5 yards. Of course, don't bend your knees and walk foward with ( Read more... )

Marching Band is progressing. We've almost finished our Pre-Game show (just one song of it or it's just one song, I don't know yet) We have 3 more stages (one to fix and 2 more to learn) and then we have the whole thing. Today so far has had no playing and I hear that my sectional will have very little playing to save our chops. Man am I glad ( Read more... )

Just a quick one before my next rehearsal.

Marching Band does not equal the movie Drumline in anyway.

Today in our morning marching band rehearsal, we learned to basically make a figure 8 with marching. of course we face one direction the whole time while our legs are going a different direction. It's tough but I think I'm getting it. We should have our new mellos soon which will be helpful because a lot of valves are stuck or sticking. I met ( Read more... )

So I moved into Towson. So far, so good. A few minor things, but everything's cozy here. I'm basically settled in. Work and school will be crazy. Plus marching band. It's kinda tough but I think I'm getting it. If not, I'll get it. Today was only the first day. But everything's pretty cool. We get new mellophones so that'll be cool. Plus ( Read more... )

Ok, short long update...mainly short

I graduated, yeah, finally

Went on tour with the TUMC choir, that was a really cool experience. Got to go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and Cedar Point. I had a really good time with those plus the concerts.

Went to CONA, it was awesome. I'll try and post pictures later.

Peace out,
Andrew
