It's spring! We've had a bit of snow but it's gone now.
The play went off wonderfully, as every audience member I've talked to said. People worked hard, the transitions went well, et cetera.
Now, we're getting ready to perform Hamlet next year. This means working hard to know the play really well. The family my younger brothers and I are staying with while Mom and Dad are at my older brother's boot camp graduation is a family that goes to our church, our youth group, and also do theater, and whenever we want to get together in between. (It's a running joke between us that we might as well move in with each other.) We read/performed a couple of scenes from Hamlet last night and started trying to learn the characters we want to audition for.
My older brother graduated from boot camp yesterday! My younger brothers and I got to Skype him, and he looked very snappy in his dress uniform. He still doesn't get his computer yet, but he has his cell phone and can call us more often now. We're really excited about this!
Now that the extremely eventful past few weeks are over, the letdown is starting to kick in. However, it's going to be gone soon, because performance season for fife and drum is incoming at frightening speed. The beginning of the performance season is possibly the busiest time. Parades, musters, and random events that are neither parades or musters. It's getting stressful learning the drill and the music and everything well enough to perform as a flawless unit in front of a bunch of other units that know what a performance should look like.
And summer is already on its way!
