Last night I went to my first full band practice. I was on vacation and at camp so I missed some of the preliminary things. It was great to be back with almost everyone – some kids are still on vacation and away. It was also little sad not seeing the seniors who just graduated, they were really helpful and nice to me last season. But the good news is that I was going to be considered a “real” freshmen this year and not an 8th grade freshmen. I officially start high school in a few weeks. There will be a lot more kids in my age group this year, many of them I haven’t seen in three years as they went to our towns other middle school. It will be good to reconnect with them and see how they handle being in band.
When I got my music I was unsure of how it would all work but I think it will come together great even though haven’t heard all of it. Believe it or not I can’t wait for band camp – all 12 hours a day of it for two straight weeks and the season to start!
