Tomorrow is the first of Two days of Marching Band Competitons. I have two in one day tomorrow, but right now I feel like Poo.... :(
I'm actually kind of excited and maybe listening to little bit of "Hakuna Matata" will help me get through the day tomrrow. I've made a playlist especially for the bus ride to the competitons tomorrow. Competitions are really competitive, but all the while, fun and exciting. You get to meet people from other bands and the crowds there will cheer for you even if you're competing against their child's band.
"The people in the stands are there to hear the bands, they don't care about football!" - My Band Director at practice yesterday. This year's show is an "Earth Wind & Fire" Show. The selections include a "Rock That!" and "September" medley, alongside "Fantasy" and "In The Stone". I feel prepared, I'm just hoping I don't trip, or my knee gives out on the Second Competition in "In The Stone".
So, in lieu of having to report to my High School early tomorrow morning, I leave you with some Marching Band Quotes.
"Marching band today isn't your grandmother or grandfather's marching band where the band walked out onto the field, stopped and played a couple of songs and walked off the field. These students are moving thousands of steps at high tempos all the while playing an instrument or using a piece of color guard equipment during one show."
