IV. REST. No. 36. If the instructor wishes the class to rest without deranging the lines, he commands, In place-REST; or, in music, RestREST. At the last part of the command, each student, keeping his right foot on the line, will carry the left foot six inches to the rear, slightly bending the advanced knee, and let the weight of the body fall mainly on the foot in the rear. Then he will not be required to give attention, or preserve steadiness of position. If, on the contrary, the instructor should wish to rest the students without constraining them to preserve perfect lines, he will command, REST; or, in music, Rest- AS YOU PLEASE. At the last part of this command, they will not be required to preserve immobility, or to maintain their positions. They will not, however, entirely break up the ranks; but be in a position to instantly resume their standings at the command, ATTENTION. No. 37.-When music is employed in connection with Calisthenics or Gymnastics, each piece will be repeated as often as required. For example, the first piece of music that immediately follows, entitled "Part First of Chest Exercise," may be repeated at pleasure, answering for all the movements of each Series of that general division. In order to give variety, however, the instructor will use Part First for the First Series of Exercises; Part Second for the Second Series; Part First for the Third Series, &c.; or the two pieces of music may be used alternately, the change occurring every time a new position is taken. |
