Sunday - And the drill is done!

Finished the show on Sunday. We now have 10:54 on the field. The members were extremely excited to do the first "full run" this evening. Is there a lot of work to be done? Of course, and the work starts over again on Monday morning. But so far, we have been able to keep on track with the program goals set for the week.

The weather has been terrific, in the low 80's during the day, and cool enough in the evening to need a sweatshirt.

Sunday evening concluded with our members intro session. We will have small groups stand in front of the corps and arrange themselves in some type of order: by age, by birthplace, by length of hair! This is intended to get everyone talking together, as these small groups are mixed, with all sections of the corps represented.

Once that is squared away (setting the order can sometimes take a while), each corps member will introduces themselves to the entire corps: name, age, section, favorite movie (at least that is what we did last night), and a few interesting facts about themselves.

It is sometimes fun to see the seemingly quietest person become the next great standup comic when presented with an audience. The one constant heard throughout the evening was laughter. The staff on hand also participated, and certainly did not lack for laughs!

The rest of the week will be spent solidifying the show. We do have a few folks to work in as they have had graduation and other school commitments.

We have picked up a couple of brass players, but still have a few low brass spots, so come by Antelope High School and check it out.
