PCI


Thanks to everyone for making PCI an awesome competition last night! It was another successful showing and we were able to perform the show in uniforms. We had a solid performance and we brought a good level of focus into the run. As far as this week goes, we as a brassline have a lot of work left to do. We have 4 or 5 rehearsals to get a solid version of Judgment on the field. In order to do this, we will need all sections to have a sectional on the music, as well as individuals reviewing their dots and really getting the drill inside their head. The forecast is sunny with cool temperatures, so let's make the most out of this week and get some good momentum going into Wakefield!

Week 4 Update

Hey Brassline,

This week has gone by extremely fast. I'm still impressed at how fast we got the ballad on the field, and the closer is definitely starting to fit together. Let's keep up the pace of rehearsal we've had the past few practices and focus on getting a lot of work done before upcoming back to back performances (Home game Friday, PCI Saturday)! Some things to work on for next week:

1. Solidify the music to Judgment. Sectionals and individual practice time will make putting music together go much smoother.

2. Refresh yourself on the earlier parts of the show and keep playing it at the high level we worked it up to.

3. Get excited for PCI! Competition season starts in a little over a week, and we have the chance to make a big impact that night.

P.S. Don't forget to take care of your horns after the weather this week.
