Whew! The last few weeks have been rather long. Late nights, early mornings, and lots of work to do. Final exams have been submitted, and I had the opportunity to work with the ACT marching band. What a wonderful group of students. A few weeks ago I watched them rehearse and was asked if I could come help on the following Saturday. Surprisingly enough I actually miss band (*gasp*), so I agreed. The students work very diligently for me, and we had great fun. The band is made up of students not just from Assumption, but the surrounding schools as well, grades 3 - 11. I'm pretty sure they were the hardest working 3rd graders in all of Thailand.
We competed last weekend in the "1st Thailand Marching Band Competition." In the preliminary round they placed 1st with a score of 85.25, and then we unfortunately made some costly errors in the finals and placed third. What a great experience though! They had such a great sound. I will try to post the video, but I fear it is too large. I tried to take some pictures, but working with students and being a photographer doesn't work too well. Below are some of the pictures.
I tried to caption the pictures, but I'm not sure it will show up. Feel free to look at them on the web album.
More adventures to come!
