I'M ON FIYA! (fire)

Hey, hey, hey.


Ok, the first topic at hand is Drill Downs. Today, I was very surprised.
It took a while to finish the drill down. Much longer than I expected.
And one can surmise that, we are only getting better at rapid fire commands.
Yay for listening!
It all came down to Bobby and Jeremy, and Bobby took the win for himself and the saxophones.

All it took for him to win was a simple horns up, but that changed everything in the end.
This exercise is meant to sharpen your listening skills. This means don't get out so you don't have to do it. It's for your benefit and the bands benefit.
We're teaching life lessons here. If you don't do it for the band, at least help yourself by trying.

And once again, it was really freaking hot. Major rays, dude. Though, my sun burn is turning into to a nice tan. I can't complain.
Remember, dress in light colors, darker colors tend to retain heat.
STAY HYDRATED. We cannot stress this enough. We do not want you passing out in the middle of a drill. We look bad, and you'll end up looking stupid. Lose-Lose situation.
Mr. Bailey provides water during our breaks, so you have no excuse not to drink something.

NOW FOR THE BIG FINALE!
The officers know you don't like push-ups. We know. But when we must, we will.

From this point on, if you are late to band it will result in push-ups.

Say you are 10 minutes late, reasonable right?
That will cause a 20 push-up punishment.

17 minutes? 34 push-up punishment.
The amount of minutes you are late is doubled to equal your push-up count.
These punishments will be carried out during the first break of the day.
While everyone is inside drinking their nice, refreshing water, you will be stuck out in the sun, doing push-ups.

And don't think we won't see you come in late.
They don't call him "Eagle Eye" Bailey for nothing.
(actually they don't call him that at all, but it's a neat name)




Random Musical Fact of the Day!:
Today I will be providing a video for the fact of the day!
Easy enough to pay attention too.
Today I will introduce to you the THEREMIN!
This is Gnarls Barkley's- Crazy played on the Theremin:


The guy moving his hands aimlessly in the air may seem like he's doing nothing, but he is actually playing a Theremin.

You'll notice that his movements slighty resemble the pitch, volume, and rhythm being played. That's because his movements directly affect what is played.
The distance from one antenna determines frequency (pitch), and the distance from the other controls amplitude (volume). Additionally, some theremins use a volume dial and have only one antenna.
