Woohoo! Today Emily found out that she will be drum major next year. This has been a dream of hers since she tried out last year. She found out that she had been close to making it last year and the directors encouraged her to try it again this year. She was very excited but nervous. When she came home Wednesday, Emily said that she had gotten along very well conducting the freshman band and the upper classmen, too. The songs that they had to do were pretty challenging. Yesterday, they had to teach a group of kids a marching formation. Again, she thought it had gone well. They also had an interview with the current drum majors and the directors. Despite feeling pretty confident, it is always a little scary when there are twelve people vying for three positions! Emily was on Cloud #9 when she came home. This will be a great way to cap off her senior year!
