First Day of Drill

Today's goal: Be Engaged

Today was one of the most exciting days this season. At 9AM this morning we met in the PAC to take a class on learning drill taught by our coordinator, Nick Benson. From 9 until 10:45 we learned how to read our coordinate sheets, which tell us exactly where we need to be at any given time. We then headed to the field with our visual staff to test our new knowledge, and learned the drill for the intro.
After lunch we met again on the field to continue learning drill and finish off today's coordinates. This was followed by brass/woodwind sectionals where we practiced marking time to the drill while playing the music.
Following dinner the winds came together for more tracking so that we are prepared to put music to drill tomorrow! The music is sounding better every day.

It is so exciting to have drill on the field this early in the season, and if we keep up the hard work it will definitely pay off.

Day deux of week deux: Complete
