The past week has been incredible. We have come so far as individuals and as a band. The days were hot, but we worked hard, and it definitely paid off. After our final run-through at Fort Flagler this morning, the staff said that they were excited for the season and to see how far we will go. Next week will be an exciting one, as we will start to put our first drill onto the field.
Highlights from Fort Flagler
Monday: Rookies met more staff members and the first visual rehearsal of the season.
Tuesday: New music! Start of the Cat-and-Mouse game
Wednesday: Band camp dance! Made excellent progress and reached 180 beats per minute at visual rehearsal.
Thursday: Worked on backwards marching during visual block. Skit night and other evening activities.
Friday: Ending the week right with a great run-through. Group lunch before boarding the ferry.

On our way home!
After a week at Fort Flagler we are ready to get on with the show! We have bonded a lot this week and it is clear that we will go far this season if we continue to progress at this rate. So much effort and hard work has gone into this show already and I cannot wait to see where we end up. Special thanks to all of the chaperones, staff, volunteers, and parents who work so hard to support us!
