First Day Of A Long Stretch

Oh, how sore my legs are. No matter which way I stretch them, they echo a memory of much standing from today. Today started the first day of band camp, and I could really say that we're doing well this year. During sectionals, the rookies were getting the work better and the run through didn't look too bad. Outside, in the beautiful humidity, we worked hard. Hard being defined by standing between the 35 and 40 yard lines for 6 sets. Most of the time, the rest of the band had been going over and over these sets, so we just sat on the field. When it did come to learning drill, though, the rookies didn't have too much complications. As tired as I am now, I enjoyed today very much. I'm not too excited for waking up by 7:00AM, but I am excited to see what kind of progress we can continue to make! The vibes I felt last week were something like fringe compared to today. It doesn't really matter anymore, so I'm still moving forward. I really like that band is bringing our friendship back together again. I'm really, really glad for that because you were the first friend who I could talk to comfortably and as myself. Photo is of the circle we sat in for introductions. It was more like an oval.
