Dreaming of Flags

The other night, I was about to doze off when the fight song for the high school that I coach at started playing in my mind.  It was so random, out of nowhere, I haven't even heard the song since October!  I finally got to sleep, and then I was dreaming of the song and next thing I know, I wake up in the morning with the whole song choreographed within 5 minutes!

In the past, the group has never had a choreographed routine, and last year, there was just too many other things I needed to do with the group to get them at competition level, the fight song just got pushed to the back burner!  Well, this year, they have a routine!  So, I have my lessons plans started for June!  Yay for working ahead!

Now, just because I say that the routine is done, doesn't mean its anything special...the song is in the format of:
A
B
Repeat B
B at a waltz/swing feel
Repeat B
C

So, you can imagine that their routine is a lot of repeats!  But that will make it easy to learn and perform over and over, from season start to finish!

My girls at 2012 NSBA in October:


Many of my kids are in Florida right now on their spring break band trip, and I can't wait for them to get back so we can start working on auditions and the fall season!

  2. Aw...thanks, friend! :) In the fall, you will have to come critique them to help them prepare for contests, sometimes I think they honestly believe that I pick at the little things just because I can and not because they truly do matter. Crazy kids! :)
