Dear Editor:
I just wanted to say a few words
about the Railer Marching Band. I’m a member of the band, so I
know how hard it’s been. We worked our [tails] off for two weeks
at camp before school started. Then we started early morning
practices on our first full day of school.
It’s been really tough this year. We
have an all-new show that’s a lot more complicated and difficult
than last year. Plus we’ve incorporated something new this year, a
flag squad, who have also been working really hard. During band
camp, most days we’d go from 8-12, 1-4 and 6-9.
We also had to deal with people
switching instruments. There’s a lot of people this year marching
and playing instruments they’d never played before. For example,
we have girls who played flute last year playing baritone this
year, and clarinetists playing percussion and tuba... just to
mention a few.
It’s been hectic, tiring, and
crazy... but it’s paying off. Our halftime show last Friday has
gotten great comments. I know it was short, but we’re getting
there. I guarantee the show will be different every time, as we
add onto and improve the show.
I also want to say a few words about
Mr. Swaar. He’s also had to deal with a lot this year. He’s had to
deal with working in the flag squad, marching with people gone to
sports and such, and some people just get tired and get
unmotivated and [have] an attitude. I don’t know how he does it. I
honestly think that none of us band members could. He spent most
of his summer vacation getting things ready for this year; he’s
put in so much time and effort. I think I would be right in
speaking for the whole band when I say we appreciate it so much,
and sometimes I really don’t think he knows.
But now maybe everyone will know how
hard we’ve all worked and come see us perform at our next halftime
show on Sept. 13.
Sincerely,
Holly
