Ill get nervous the entire week of school with the camp on the weekend. Then I'll start heading down and be fine, (4 hours on the highway, gotta think of something) then once we break into columbus I'll start getting REALLY nervous. But the first time you step in front of the drums is going to be the worse.
To awnser the question, right now, No. I'm not having any jitters yet.

Yeah. I'm getting jitters already. But I figure I just have to put self-doubt and stuff aside. I have, as well as everyone else here, has been preparing the best they can. And everyone here will be putting forth their best. And I figure if I put forth my best, it'll be a good experience. Regardless of marching or not (although I really would prefer the former lol!)

I'm actually not nervous, i'm just extremely excited.  The only time I will get nervous is during the audition.  I cant wait to meet the staff, and possibly play some of this music. I LOVE storms. |

I remember my 1st auditions for CR.....I was SOOOO nervous I didn't know anyone. I went to the camp all by myself and I knew NOTHING!!! lol But one thing I can say is I walked out the audition ALIVE lol but really I walked out with people I just meet and still have a friendship with them to this day. So just go in there with your head up, ready to learn and just go for it. And keep in mind that a GREAT attitude goes a LOONNGG way.  Douglas Edens CR color guard 03,04,05,06

Well, think about it, If you make the cut, good job, pat yourself on the back.
But if you don't you still got to spend a weekend doing something you love with others that also love it as much as you. And I imagine some great friendships are made also.

I normally don't get too nervous if I know I'm going to do a good job. It's the times when I haven't prepared enough that I start freaking out lol...Fortunately this shouldn't be one of those times.
