Blog 12 New Leaders

Today our band director will be interviewing people to be a leader in their section.  Anyone can try out to become a drum major,  spirit leader, and parade drum major.  None of the positions are really hard to do, but the only thing is many people are going to be trying out for it.   I could of tried out for section leader but I don't know if I'm going to be joining next year.  For the tubas, nobody is going to be running so Mr.Belski is going to have to pick someone.  For the french horns, all the seniors will be leaving so Mr.Belski will have to take someone from another section to lead them.  For Every other section it is just going to be how the usually do it,  someone will run against each other and Mr.Belski will pick someone.  Band banquet will be coming soon.

Blog 11 After The Concert

In class the day of the concert,  we just practiced the music we got.  Their wasn't anything hard that I struggled with.  When I got to the concert,  people were already there.  The jazz band didn't go on till 7 o'clock.  They played pretty good.  Every band had a few mistakes,  but it was still good.  The concert band played two songs.  They're called Festivo and Ammerland.  The first one was a march like song and the second one was more of a sad toon.  When our band went on it just took a couple of minutes to get ready.  At first I was a little nervous, when we started to play I was fine.  We played two songs, they were called,  Loch Lomond and Alligator Alley.  The first song was a Scottish type song and the second one was about an alligator.  When the last band went on,  I was just waiting outside.  They played two songs,  one of them was Cartoon.  I don't know what the other was but I'm pretty sure that it was good.  I left early because I didn't want to help clean up the stage. 

Concert 5/14/14 blog 10

We are preparing for our concert next Wednesday.  We are only going to be playing two songs,  Loch Lomond and Alligator Alley.   Both songs are really easy.  There is just a few places where I struggle with.  On some places I have to play a couple of high notes.  Other than that, I'm fine on everything else.  The concert will be a Kennedy high school.  This will be our last concert of the year.  After the concert their will be two things to practice for, finals and graduation.  The finals will be a week or two after the concert.  After the concert it is just practicing for finals.  It will be boring not playing any more music as a group for awhile.  Soon after school we will start to prepare for next years marching show.  Hopefully the show for next year will be even better.  It will be sad to see some of my friends leave after being with them for two years.
