Another great night of practice last night! Mark is out this week so we are mostly doing sectional work. Our goals for this week include…

  • To Each Their Own (All the way through)
  • All of BT #9
  • Section Jams (Agog, Ramified, Canorous)
  • Cadence series
  • All previously set goals

This will be the last week of learning fundamentals so make sure you are keeping up on the marching side of things!

Thank you to all that came and stuck it out through the rain last night! Here are the goals.

  • Have all of Buckeye Technique ready to play, while meeting tempo goals set by previous sessions.
  • Snares, Tenors, and Bass Drums: Look at your section specific Jam, (Agog, Canorous, and Ramified), we will likely play these on Thursday as well as much of next week.
