Off to a good start!

Marching Band has hit the ground running! Tuesday evening was the kick-off to this year's marching season. It was almost a full group playing rehearsal and for their first time together, they sounded great. There is still lots of "polishing" to do, but that will come in time with plenty of rehearsal. The big thunderstorm that rolled through caught some of them off guard with their vehicle windows rolled down, but it sure didn't dampen their enthusiasm!

Today was the first day of Rookie Camp and the kids did great. It wasn't too hot, but even still, we had plenty of ice water to keep the kids hydrated. When asked how he felt it went, Mr. Stough replied, "I think this is the best group of rookies we've had! Today was a great day!"

Posted below are some pictures. I will try to feature all the kids at some point during band camp. Rest up and be ready for another day of hard work tomorrow!
