Luckily I have Kyla (my sister)'s wedding on the 6th so I'll be busy enough to maaaaybe put it all out of my mind.
I can't help but get excited. The progress the band keeps making is blowing me away. This weekend the Grade 2 band hit up the Celtic festival in Thunder Bay and from what I've heard, ROCKED OUT!!!
Not only that it was the debut of our uniform change, which, from the facebook pics, looked awesome.
Not only do we sound sharp (pun fully intended if you read our sheets from last year's world's) but we look it too, and that's a big piece of the puzzle. A band from so far away, with very little track record, needs to make a big impression up to the line.
I've been practicing my "Means business" look in the mirror. Normally the drum corp looks pretty relaxed, but we also need to appear confident and serious. Like we have nothing to fear. So I'm working on that.
If you haven't been following Ryan MacDonald Photography's blog, you should!! Check out the awesome photographing the art pics. Latest one I've seen was Sean Somers' (Rocky Mountain Pipe Band P/M, and all around cool guy)family portraits entitled Callum and the Pipes... Holy smoke is that kid cute and getting big.
This blog inspired me to get out my camera. I often forget to do this, and thinking back, regret it very much. So many great memories that I remember well now, but years of drums, pipe bands, and rock and roll will surely scramble my brains.
So here is my game face in action... and Dylan's and Graham's ... just from last season. Confidence? I think so...
Talk soon! It's my Birthday tomorrow so I'm sure I'll do something dumb at band tonight and have to write about it.
Sean
