first week of band camp is almost over, my shoulder hurts and i'm all sweaty.

our show is "swing time"
opening with zoot suit riot, then moving on to an unorganized jumble which contains the thrilling titles, "big noise", "it dont mean a thing", "my man", "Cuban pete" and "kiss him goodbye".
i dare you to guess our slow song.

anyway, i've been trying to catch footage of band moments so i can make a mash-up and post it on youtube. i'll definitely give a link when its up :D
until then...
