It's January, you have show music passed out and the first show is only weeks away. Maybe you did a short Holiday Camp, or you took that break off completely. Maybe you had some snow days in December like we did here in Cincinnati. Either way you are feeling the pressure of that first show. Are you behind? It probably feels like it. Should you be freaking out? It probably feels like it. So what should we do if we are in this situation?

Been a while since I posted. There has been a lot going on this marching band season, and it has taken my full focus to get to this...

I think we as educators are really good about telling students to practice, but not always as great at giving them tools to help...

Don't forget that summer is also when you have the most time to make an investment in your playing and fundamentals.
