Saturday at camp is the last full day of rehearsals during the first week. Everybody knows about this, and it can be easy to lose focus as the end gets closer. This didn't really happen, though. We were able to learn the drill for Revised Entrance #3 and start marching it with the recording playing over the sound system.
The drill can be confusing to learn if you've never used the MI's way before, so we'll probably have a drill reading sectional at some point to go over what's happening.
Mr. Keene was so pleased after his first rehearsal with us that he decided to come back today and work with us for a second time. He has us sounding very solid on Three In One, Loyalty, and Stars and Stripes Forever.
The UI Athletic Department (Division of Intercollegiate Athletics) did something very nice for us for our dinner. They catered Famous Dave's for us right in front of the Harding Band Building during our usual dinner hour. The food was excellent, and a big thank you goes out to DIA for feeding us. We certainly hope that our presence this season is able to help our team succeed beyond the expectations by many.
The usual Saturday night traditions went on as planned, and it was a very fun night for all of us.
