I had a rather average kind of day, as it goes. It was just really long. 7 AM to 8:30 PM is one long kind of day. I didn't really have any breaks either.
At the schools, Wednesdays are both good and bad. The district has set things up so teachers can collaborate within the department. The music department doesn't need this time to collaborate, so we use the time for rehearsal. This means the band gets extra time to rehearse. The downside to wednesdays is that all the other classes are a little shorter.
In marching band, we marched a little bit, first practicing horns up/down. Then we practiced a little 8 to 5 (8 steps to 5 yards) and ran through the "CHS" formation halftime show a couple times, then got back to class and rehearsed.
In beginning band, I took the trombones out and taught them about maintenance of their instrument and also worked on a few notes. Their sound is already pretty good. I also played trombone with the concert band in 6th period.
