Today was rough. I kept hitting snooze from 6am all the way to 6:50am, then decided to wake up and take a shower. I got to school, and got ready for practice. Everybody but mark was outside and was ready to go. Once we were out there, we got a tiny head start on warming up before he came. We all got a laugh out of it. We did Patterns 1 and 2, diddles, and then we performed the opener.
After that, we had to march basic block most, if not all morning. Then we had lunch (and there was some trouble getting it, because no one asked drumline or colorguard if we wanted any!). It all worked out though.
I sat by Jen (from colorguard) and she started talking to me. (The 2nd say of camp of her birthday, and she came up and hugged me and told me she was sorry for being mean to me last year! She's the one who called me a hermit. After she hugged me and I walked away, she said that we were going to become best friends this year. Weird, huh? )
After lunch, we did pit (3rd tune) and practiced the 2nd tune more. It was somewhat boring.
We did the opener a couple of times outside with drill. It was hard! The end was a littel sloppy so we stopped at couple of sets early.
After that was dinner, and I ate a hotdog. Again, Jen wanted me to sit with her. I did. We were playing with each other's cell phones. It was sorta fun (she has verizon...I have cingular.)
After dinner was the performance for the community. It wasn't too bad, though Walker Vally HS's directors came and checked us out. I guess they were just checking to see how competion would be this year....
Over all, band camp was hard, but very very fun :) and I learned a lot of things! (though trey could have been a little less of a jerk. He didn't have to be Mr. Nazi Drill Prick! )
Also, the WHOLE SNARE LINE GOT GIRLFRIENDS!
Alex - Heather (some girl we met at the bowl-a-thon)
Mark - Lauren (a girl in the trumpet section)
Brandon - "Chicky" (girl in colorguard)
2/3 of the bass got a mate too:
Nathan - Melissa (Secretary of Band. Also play Sax.)
Jen (the 2nd bass player) - ??? (some dude she's been going out with for 3 weeks)
Marybeth - (she's still single...as far as I know)
The tenor line is still availble (yup...it's just me :-P )
I hope me and jen do become best buds this year, and I hope I get a couple more friends too. :)
