Mon
Monday morning began with PT at 0730, no different from any other week, it may
seem but the senior term were still recovering from Christmas Leave and Military
Training.
The day continued in the usual format but with the uncertainty of MFM, there
was quite a 'hum in the air' amongst Training Company, with excitement looming.
Tues
Rounds as usual but with Training Coy being 'full to the brim' a rejig of jobs
was apparent by the unusually high standards.
Tuesday evening rehearsal consisted mainly of a recap of repertoire in preparation
for forthcoming gigs, with a busy period just around the corner, Training Coy
awaits in anticipation.
Weds
A very cold Parade Band! mainly practising drill to 'break' the Term 1s in gently.
With fingers and thumbs frozen, the band rehearsed dressing and covering (and
how to keep the feeling in their feet).
Weds afternoon RT, students were participating in their own sports as well as
the pre-arranged. A combination of squash, swimming, tennis and netball kept
the 'Wing' busy.
Thurs
There is nothing like a good 'camp circuit' to warm you up in the morning! Ready
for the realisation of our part in MFM, a mixture of nerves and excitement encircled
the Wing. An experience never open to Trainees before, had been made available.
Evening rehearsal as on Tuesday consisted of finishing touches and familiarity.
Friday
Another cold one! The band marched on however and braving the weather we made
'frosty' music on the Victory Arena.
Weekend to look forward to now. Hooray!
