Out of Time

This week's rehearsals are over. We have worked all week to clean things up. I feel like we are better than we were at this time last week, but we still have a lot of work to do. We are out of time for the week. Time is the great equalizer. Everybody only has 24 hours in a day. It is what you do with your time that separates the great from the good and the good from the mediocre and the mediocre from the bad. I wish we had a little more time this week to put it all together but alas we do not. Again, if we get beat, we will get beat by a band that played and marched better than us. We are catching up to the easy shows but we may still be a week away from passing them. We are so close to greatness but seem to be afraid to just go for it. Maybe on Saturday some magic can happen and they will step it up. I wish they could feel what it is like to truly be rewarded for hard work. Some of the students don't really know that feeling and some don't remember. Maybe Saturday can be a starting point for some to greatness for some and a reminder to others of why we work so hard. I have seen this band step it up a level at competition before. I feel like we stepped up rehearsal this week so let hope for all of us, we can all step it up on Saturday.
