Last band camp down, one year to go

24Aug08

Dang. I can’t keep up with this thing, and I know that nobody reads this. That might help.

Anyway, school starts tomorrow. Where has the summer gone? I just finished my last band camp, and my senior year of high school is already beginning. Crazy. This summer went by so quickly, it’s insane! All it pretty much was was California, home, summer reading, and band camp. Oh, and I have my license and a car.

Band is looking a lot better than last year though. I’m actually surprised. The kids are looking good, and believe it or not, the directors are actually organized. Ms. Stevens still doesn’t do anything though, and her baby is around all the time. The drumline is also looking a little sorry, but I’m actually enjoying being in the pit a little. I still hate this music though.

A few days ago, we rehearsed in the field after a thunderstorm with the full band. Pushing the instruments through a swampy field is one thing, but then standing in a swampy field and being attacked by ants was just unbearable. My ankles are still swollen, and I can’t STAND IT ANYMORE!

This year, some one had the bright idea of assigning people specific parking spaces in the school parking lot. I already know this won’t work, because frankly, high schoolers are just dumb. So I’m not looking forward to driving to school tomorrow morning while everyone is freaking out about where their spot is. And I’m also expecting people to NOT park in their assigned spaces, which means that person has to park in another space and etc. etc. It takes one person to mess it up! This won’t work.

I’ve been thinking about doing drum corps next summer. I think I might go to a camp. Since Troy came back from being with Troopers, I’ve wanted to try Troopers too and he said that I should try it. I’m not sure if I could make it though. I’m no god on mallets, especially 4-mallets. I’m also not sure if I can handle 13 hour rehearsals and sleep on buses and gym floors. Well, maybe being uncomfortable is what I need. I’m super lazy sometimes.

I wonder what my school schedule will be like.  So far, I only know that I have band 7th period. Woot.

Tomorrow will suck though. Not only do I have to go to school, I have to stay after school for percussion rehearsal. I hope it doesn’t rain, but I hope it isn’t muggy and hot. Houston’s weather sucks.

Until next time………(who knows..),
autumn
