it's been a while but
Haven't signed onto this site in a while, but I came across this thread in a google search and I figured that I might as well give those individuals interested an update. The band started practising a couple weeks ago and we've gained a few people somewhere in the switchup. Last year we lost our mellophone player, our star soprano player, our quad player and a snare player. For some reason we've made all of them back and then some. Last year at compeition we marched 17 people, this year we're looking to march between 20 and 25 people. As of right now we have 6 sopranoes, 2 mellophones, 3 baritones, and a contrabass. Our drumline has 2 quads (a first for Ontario cadets in competition) 2 snares, 4 bass drums, and a lowly cymbal player. Hard to believe it but we're already playing most of our show music (at least the hornline is...) and the drumline has all the warmups down to a proficiency we never reached last year at any time. Things are looking up and I'm looking to win provincials this year.
