Strategy for Homecoming

The Michigan Marching Band (MMB) requires that I show up for all rehearsals and call times to be a part of the Homecoming Alumni Band. I can do that.

I have practiced marching. I know I can do that, too.

I have NOT practiced saxophone.

I like to see how quickly I can pick it back up after not practicing for a year. Having to learn songs again really quickly is kind of a fun little test for my brain. Plus, I remember that when I was in the MMB, the alumni generally sounded a little rusty. The bar is not as high for us as it is for the actual band, and this is part of what makes it so fun to be in alumni band.

The expectations are low but the nostalgia quotient is high.

Go Blue!
