I can't get to sleep, so I will update the blog!

So band camp is now over, and classes have begun. Camp was a lot of fun, but VERY tiring! Several sections decided to do their Hype Night on Saturday, and in doing so, provided much needed comic relief that allowed my fellow Redcoats and myself to push through our exhaustion and pain to finish putting the last couple pages of drill for our first show onto the field. A couple notable Hype Night themes from throughout the week were "Number 1 Party School", "Robin Hood", "SEC Refs" (Ours),  "Luchadors", and "Toy Story 3". 

One aspect of The Redcoat Life that has already manifested itself is the family-like attitudes all Redcoats have about one another. I ran into fellow Redcoats twice today (well yesterday now) and even though we may not have actually known each other well, we still carried on a conversation simply because we had one thing in common, The Redcoat Band. I LOVE IT! It is an incredible feeling to know that I can run into a random Redcoat anywhere, and be treated like a brother or at least an old friend. It all boils down to one simple fact: being a Redcoat is a very unique experience that serves to the betterment of musical skills while being an active social community.
