Ok this is what's been up. I'm still trying to practice my Maxwell routine. I want to go back to Blount for a lesson. I couldn't go last week because I had a bad alergy reaction all over my body. But I really want to go to another lesson. Maybe next month. Marching band has started again. The first couple of days were a little difficult because I had no idea what I was doing. But now i'm getting used to the drum major thing. We have 5 trumpets this year. I'm trying to help out the section specially trying to teach them how to use their toungues. But they have gotten a lot better in the last 5 days. I'm really excited about this season. The other day I was talking about people having to memorize the music and I said that I could memorize the show in 10 minutes and the band thought I was kidding around so I go in the band room during the last 10 minutes of lunch and memorize the show. When I came out everyone was like "wow". I didn't do it to show off but to lead by example because a lot of people talk the talk but can't walk the walk. I'm trying to be a nice guy and have fun but still getting the business done. I've been really lucky because I've bonded real well with everyone in the band so they are listening to me. So hopefully the season will go great. Today is Saturday so since I haven't had time to work on exercises I'll practice that today.
