Are ya ready for some marching band? Most of the Patriot Band showed they were by showing up for the first rehearsals of the summer. I say "most" because, as always, there are a few who said they would be there and were "no shows". If you know any of these kids, give 'em a call and a kick in the pants and tell 'em to get to practice! All three sectionals covered music, basics, and the first 3 charts of the drill. Speaking of which, the drill has some twists and turns that will be a challenge for us to learn but will also bring some new and fresh drill moves to the track.
It's always fun to welcome back old staff members for another summer. These former band members (and imports) work very hard for the love of the activity - not the money! My thanks to Jason Hart, Mark Garringer, Emilie Boyes-soon-to-be-Garringer, Sarah Ullom, Amy Grady, Cody Grady, and new staff members Samantha "Freebie" Freeman, Caitlin "Crash" Dunn and Becky "Opie" Hargraves. Remember - as a staff, we can create, instruct, correct, and critique but we can't march and play the show for you. You can do your part by practicing at home, making all the rehearsals, and supporting each other. Ask yourself:
"Do I want to live with the pain of regret from not doing my best? Or do I want to live with the pain of discipline and push myself through?"
Let's make this a great summer! Marching Patriots forever!
