I'm in KKPsi

I had the pleasure of going to dinner with on of my brothers from Kappa Kappa Psi, the honorary band fraternity during our fundamentals week. We were both wearing shirts that we had made to wear for the breakfast we provided for the band, which had KKPsi stenciled on them. When we got to the restaurant that we  were going to eat at, a family that was eating there started eying our shirts, and asked us "What does that mean? Is it some sort of gang?"


We wound up spending a good twenty minutes explaining our role as members of Kappa Kappa Psi, what we did in the band, what kinds of shows we do. It was actually kind of fun, and funny at the same time. The things I take for granted are things that other people may never have heard of, I guess.

Back to the grind...

Here we go, back to school. Finished is the summer, sleeping till eleven, band camp, camping; on to music history, jazz band, and private practice...

Band camp was great though, I am really glad to have a solid section this year. It is nice to be able to count on the members of my section to be there on time, to play their parts well, and to march well. I hope that we will have a blast together this season.

A tradition of the USU fundamentals camp is the picnic/pie auction, where section leaders get a large plate of pudding to the face, along with a few faculty members. My baritones seemed to really enjoy spreading pudding all over my face, and I have to admit that it was pretty funny, and it is an odd sensation to be covered in pudding. Thanks to my section for a great Fundamentals Week, I'm looking forward to the rest of the marching season, starting Sept. 11th against ISU!

It's so hard to get motivated.

Still haven't gotten very far on the Viderunt Omnes arrangement, and I am stuck in the intro of a Journey arrangement for pep band. It is just so hard to get motivated to do these things during the summer. It is driving me absolutely insane!
