Three Spins

In the Marching Hundred, we do cool things like chair step.
When marching chair step, we do cool things like three spins.
Three spins turn you 270 degrees to face right from your starting position, but you turn to the left (because turning to the right is not something we do in Hundred. Always turn to the left).
Three spins are tricky. They require a balanced center of gravity, and when you first start learning them, they make you dizzy. They can be confusing at first, too, but then you get used to it and you look fantastic.

In Read Center, we do cool things like Welcome Week.
When it's Welcome Week, it is also band camp.
Being an RA and being in Hundred is best defined as "insanity." Hopefully the good kind of insanity, though. The three-spin kind.
My whole life is like a rookie's three spin right now. I'm a little dizzy and confused, and I'm not really sure what I'm doing. It's going to take a lot of practice and careful balance, but I'll get the hang of it sooner or later.
Lame analogy? Maybe, but it's what I've got. I'm tired.
