Week 8 - Band Trip4/21/2024 This week was another not-good one. The first half of the week was busy, so I didn’t get anything done. For the rest of it, I was in Washington DC, so I still didn’t get anything done. Don’t get me wrong, DC was great. We saw the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, JFK Memorial, MLK Memorial, Holocaust Museum, we went on a tour of the Capitol, and we got to play in an awesome hall for a performance. The performance was actually why we were there. It’s a competition called the Presidents Cup, which is hosted by the President’s Own Marine Band. Only 10 high school bands are invited from anywhere in the country, and if they show up, they show up, and if they don’t, they don’t. Only five bands including us went, two from North Carolina, two from California, and one from Florida. We didn’t win unfortunately, we think we should’ve won over the other group for more than one reason, but that’s beside the point. Doing any work at all was hard in DC because I had maybe one hour every night when we got back to the hotel, but the wifi was bad, I was tired, and we always had an early start the next morning. I knew getting home that I was going to have A LOT of homework stacked up from the back half of last week, but I’ve been able to get a good grasp on it now that I’m back. In the way of this project, I hope to get some work done next week, but I also know it won’t be easy because I also have to worry about the rest of my homework. I still think I can finish the project in time as long as I keep working on it.
