Well, I am composing this blog post while sitting in the lounge area of (the not yet open) ECV Dining Hall because I am bored to tears! We had a Derbies Pep band rehearsal this morning at 8:00, and that was fun. However, the next thing on the itinerary doesn't start until 7:00 pm. Epic Fail. I am bored out of my mind!!! The Derbies gig tonight is going to make all this waiting well worth it because I get the great honor of being part of the group that makes the first public performance as the 106th edition of the University of Georgia Redcoat Marching Band! In addition to that tidbit of awesomeness, this performance will be the 2011 Rookie class's first introduction to many of the traditions we have in the Redcoats. For some of these guys and girls, it may even be their first time hearing the Redcoat Band live! How cool is that? I remember how awestruck I was last year at this time when I was a rookie hearing the epic sound that comes from the Derbies Pep band, and I am looking forward to helping impress that feeling on this new crop of Redcoats.
Yes, this is technically my second day of Redcoat Camp, but really and truly, a blog post that did nothing but talk about our 2.5 hour long rehearsal would not have been overly interesting, so I decided to spare you, my readers, the pain of that experience! :) All in all, this is shaping up to be a pretty awesome week back in Athens. I have already met some pretty cool rookies and meeting back up with the friends I made during last season has been a lot of fun.
Well, I am now tired of sitting here in this abandoned dining hall, so I'm going to wrap up this post now!
Goooooooooo Dawgs! Beat Smurfs (BSU)!!!
