I was cleaning out a shelf today and found this old picture of me as a freshman in marching band. Band was a joy for me through high school, especially my junior and senior years. Does anyone else have a band picture they want to share? How was your experience in marching band? This was in Fallbrook, California in 1982

I practiced yesterday, but forgot to post it. Today, I played It is Well in all 12 keys. It was far from perfect, but I will keep at it. I went outside and played It Is Well a few times, because I find it helpful to play in different environments, although it was quite hot and humid and I was slightly worried about the pads on my flute, so I didn't stay out long I also played long tones and really thought about tone colors. I was purposely trying to play a bad sound and then a good sound and everything in between. I find it freeing to play all sorts of tone colors, that way I don't feel like I have to only achieve one tone color. I also played along with some Rumba Drum Metronome Loop while I played It Is Well, that Vic had me play with in our last lesson.
