Sorry guys. I was just reading the journal entries and forgot to update you on the DCI Eastern Classic thing. The Cadets won. It was a great night. By the way I am doing marching band this year. I just can't say no to the offer giving to me this year. The teacher might rent flugelhorns so that we can play the Mangione show plus I'm playing a huge role as the leader in the band. So I just couldn't deny the offer. My Emb. set up is going good. I was on vacation for a week last week. And I only got to play for 2 hours over the entire week period. I went to band camp feeling great. I used the new emb. set up for the high stuff. I wasn't really tired at all today or anything. So I guess everything is going good.

YIKES! In 7 months or so I'll be 17. Time sure goes by fast. My emb. change is going good. My tonguing in the low register is getting better and so is my tone. In about another 2 months I should be back to the level that I was at before.

The emb. change is going good. I can tongue alright and do more stuff. I am not sure if I'm going to be in marching band this year. I probably wont and just stay home and build my chops back up. Tomorrow I'm going to go see a DCI Eastern Classic Drum Corps show witch should be pretty awesome. I'll update you guys on how it was tomorrow. I can already hear the loud brass in my head. I can't wait.
