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!
