Ouch...this hurts!

So about a week and a half ago, I decided that I'm going to try out for drum major this year(the highest office in the band...the one that conducts the band...yeah that thing). Caitlin taught me how to conduct two time signatures and I taught myself how to do two others. In front of her, I didn't do so well. At home, I'm not bad. And when I'm doing "not bad", my arms HURT!!!!! What's weirder is the fact that my right arm muscle is huge in comparison to my left arm muscle. I guess it's because I'm right dominate. It's just sorta funny looking when I flex 'cause one arm is like BAM and the other is like wimpy. :) Mostly I'm doing this because of my path to band directorness. Even if I don't make drum major, it'll be good to know how to conduct, even if it's no where near the same style. Since I'm starting now, I have almost 7 months to get my conducting try-out ready and so far, I don't think it's going to shabby. Granted, I'm not even close to it being great but it's pretty okay. I've been practicing my conducting by using some of my flute books that have recordings to them(that's about 7 out of the 30 that I own), so I pop in the CD, open up the music book, and conduct. So here I am, complaining about my unequal and throbbing arms. I guess I should start lifting light weights for my arms(that's what the drum majors do). Hey Mother, we got any 5lb weights laying around anywhere? :)

That's basically it. The soreness will go away in a couple days if I keep at this.

The picture isn't our band or anything. It's the drum major of the MN college band or something like that. It's just to show what the drum major is so it'll click and you guys will go...Oooh I get it. :P
