Day 2

Breakfast began at 7:00am and most were in line before that waiting for the doors to be open. There are a variety of foods to choose from at every meal. Breakfast choices include: many kinds of fruit, yogurts, cereal, bagels, toast and a hot choice such as eggs, hash browns, waffles, etc. each day. Lots of drink choices too. Rehearsal began around 8:00am with basic marching exercises for about an hour and a half, followed by winds drill rehearsal until lunch. Colorguard, Drumline and Percussion rehearse in their respective groups. After lunch, the band was broken into sectionals until around 3:30, when the winds came back to the field to work on more drill with their instruments. After dinner, more rehearsal, and eventually the entire band was put together....and by the end of the long, HOT day, Movement 1 is "on the field"...and it looks and sounds so cool already! After rehearsal tonight, the kids were given about an hour to work on their skits for skit night on Wednesday. For skit night, each section is given a chance to perform a skit for the rest of the band. It is a highlight of the week! Lights out 11:00pm.
