The corps has settled in to training camp after our initial weekend. The daily whiteboard gives everyone the information for the day, while our tireless volunteers work around the clock to keep the corps well fed, healthy and happy. Mr. Mar works to coordinate everyone's efforts.
We have had a couple of mishaps, a fire alarm inadvertently went off one day when our cooking was located in the vicinity of a smoke detector and one of the fields has been a bit wet due to a lot of watering (which the school folks have been very kind in addressing). We have had a couple of passersby offering encouragement - one yelled out "amazing dedication" while watching our morning basics block.
Monday was "Festive Day" as all rehearsal blocks were devoted to the opener. Made a lot of progress today; the plan to take a production a day for the remainder of the week. Reminder: come out to Antelope High School for our Family Day performance this Thursday night, June 18. Details on the news page at mandarins.org
Corps members got to sleep in today until 9 a.m. We are working in a couple of new brass players this week, but are still looking for a couple of low brass players - where are you tuba players?
More good news: our charter bus company was able to free up another bus: four buses for the SoCal swing this weekend!
