Ok, so people have been wanting me to post this.
This is me after taking down my band braids, ugh. Can we say, "Bad hair day"?
Thursday and Friday were my first two competitions. On Thursday we got 3rd out of thirteen bands. We were beat only by Centerville and Muncie Southside. Friday we got4th out of 17 bands. This time we beat Centerville but were defeated by Jay County whom we had beat only the night before. We were also beat by Muncie Southside (again) and Anderson Highland (ooo shocker). So both nights were great.
Right Now I am basically just trying to blow the world's largest bubble. You would think that 3 feet of gum would be enough. Nope. Maybe I need to chew the other three feet.
Well, I will give you pictures now of my with the bass drum and maybe some video.

Not much
Ok so, yesterday I lied. Today was my 11th day. 4 from band camp, 5 from last week, so far 2 from this week.
Today was the longest day of band I have had yet. That is saying a lot considering We did thirteen hours of practice a day during band camp. 13 to 6. Big difference, with the six being larger. Anyway, long day tired.
Thursday will be my first band contest. It will also be my 13th day marching and playing the bass drum. Oooo fun. I wonder what people at my school will say if I wore a Hagerstown Band shirt on the first day of school? What about on homecoming? Ooooo that would be a hoot! The most unpatriotic soph of the century.
I counted today, 30 more hours of band practices. Don't get me wrong though, I love band. I just don't like right before practices. But from tomorrow on will be evening practices. so tomorrow is my last morning and afternoon practice. OH MY GOSH IT IS! That is... weird, scary, and exciting.
Anyway Buh Bye!

Band
I am back. Ok so today was day number 11 with a bass drum strapped to my front. It has really been three weeks at the end of the this week, but today was the eleventh day. If that make sense. I am really tired but all in all today was good.
Time flew by as usual, going from 9 to 11 to noon then slowly through the lunch break, (crazy I know, completely and totally backwards, lunch should be short, practice long, but the one hour of lunch takes longer than the six hour practice) The next thing I knew it was 2. We marched for like fifteen min. then had (what seemed like) a half hour break, then marched like half an hour and then boom! 4 o'clock time to go home. I am very thankful that lunch is so long and practice so short.
But even during these short periods, a lot of sun damage can take place. I currently have sun poison on my neck and am pealing like a banana on my legs and ears. I also have a pretty shade of rose pink on my arms, face, and upper legs. Oh, and heaven forbid I forget my hair is chock full of chunks of pealing skin. Please don't get sick, you discolor your keyboard. Yesterday while drying and putting away dishes my brother said, 'Would you rather have a million dollars or be rid of your sun poison?'
'Sun poison' I said. Then he added millions until he reached like 300 million dollars. I still chose to be rid of my sun poison. He though I was nuts. Dora agreed.
I guess I should say who Dora is. She is my sister. Brighton is my brother. Tobi is my other sister. In age it goes me 15, Brighton 12 (13 this month), Dora 8, and Tobi 5. And don't forget ma mere et mon pere. They recently celebrated their 4th anneversery. Then again they have married for 16 years, can you figure it out?
Well Ta ta for now

It's me again
Hello, it is me again. Not much to say.
Today I was in a water war, it was a lot of fun. I got there and hung out a little bit and then it all started. Pink was the first one to get me wet although... does it count when I volunteered? He wanted to show everyone his water gun and he said something like I just shoot Sari to show you. Only I would say 'OK!' Then I had to get Eric back for getting my brother orange. So, with water gun (complete with green cartridge) in hand I set off for payback. At first I had to make sure the green was just right so I tested it on Zach Moore and Samon. It took a little while to make it the perfect shade of green. But soon it was alright. So after a while I finally felt that the payback was complete. Eric's face was a nice shade of green (although shame shame it washed off). If only he felt he was done. (What you thought that he wouldn't get me whilst I was getting him? Yeah, as Cher would say 'As If!' [I was throughly soaked]) He called a truce... and then squirted me in the eye, in the middle of the truce handshake (stupid me thinking it was on the level) Yeah I didn't fall for it twice though. But he didn't really squirt me after that. Then we played a sort of water balloon dodge ball. And the we through water at people while they were swinging. I was honored to be one of the first swingers along with Zach Moore and Samon, (The very same two whom I tested the green water on) There is no sarcasm there. I was elated to be picked first in a game for once. lol. Then we went inside and had our lesson... Which was very informal ;) (For Pink if he is reading). Anyway umm... Bye?
