Nostalgic Sounds

It is absolutely too cold for the beginning of October. Gahh. In the bathroom before practice, I prayed to God that I may make it through this afternoon. Going outside until 7PM would be a total bitch and I would not make it through. For the time that we were outside, we took 3 laps. I personally deserved those because I had pigged out yesterday. I felt a little better, even though I was dying at the end of it. As the night turned out, we ended up having a BS practice! God, how I love these! It began to rain about an hour into practice, so we had to move everything to the gym. With everything in the gym and everyone playing their instruments, I was hit with a feeling of nostalgia. When a full band or drum corps plays in a gym, the acoustics are crazy. Everything echoes and the entire sound just sounds 20x bigger. This sound pulled me away from reality for a little while, like a little band nerd. It got me excited because I envisioned myself performing alongside a drum corps as amazing as the Cadets. Tonight definitely inspired me to march somewhere big, but I can't forget all the hard word that goes into it. Anyway, the guard did not stay with the band, but we had a sectional in the auditorium. It was fun, considering the laid back rehearsal of the third number. Photo is of everyone in the gym.
