Heh, thanks. Good job, by the way.
We got a lot of awesome feedback from people in the audience and we had a lot of applause. More than I've ever heard at a first show.
Would you want to meet up at a show or something, EP? We'll be at all 3 shows this weekend. Congrats on saturday! We actually won't be at any of the shows this weekend because our version of sadie hawkins is saturday night and most of the guard is going. We'll be at Sibley and Irondale though. It's hard to miss me as I'm the loud, obnoxious redhead. Good luck this weekend! by the way, your senior from last year was really good in the AFTERGLOW show. Cool, I'll be sure to tell her. :-)
I'm pretty easy to locate as well, as I'm the shortest captain. XD I used to be one of the taller people in my guard..
Sadie Hawkins is the one where the girls ask the boys, right? Have fun with that.

the schedule our director gave us for our next competition (on the 16th) has us arriving at our school at 8:45 AM, and not getting back to our school until 12:30 AM I'm excited though. Its soo long because our winter drumline is actually performing =D Longggggg day. oh fun =)

Wow, we have a long Saturday. Since our band has the Big Band Dance to take care of, we have to set up at 8 in the morning. This event runs from 7 to 11, so we have to take everything down. Now I'm guessing it will take until midnight to get finished. Woah!

Speaking of long Saturdays, our competition schedule this weekend is to arrive at school around 8(am) to load the trailer and go to and afternoon show, from there an evening show, spend the night at the site of our next show, then preform in the afternoon. THEN we get to go home.
It's gonna be a nice cozy time on the guard bus. Haha.

Our first overnight trip will be in the middle of April. This is where everyone goes: the jazz bands, percussion, concert band, and wind ensemble.

Well, they're generally kind of close to each other. But all 3 are competitions.

So I have a question for y'all - how do you (or the captains or directors) get your guard to perform the work, not just go through the motions? i think it comes down to whether or not they want to be there, if they love guard and also it comes to confidence. confidence comes with practice, and we tell them that. they've improved soo much over this season, but they just are scared to show it i guess. Its soo aggrivating, I believe we would score soo much better if we would simply sell our show to the audience.
