Urg.... I ate too much food, even though it was good, it was much too much. Thank you mommy, for being such a great frickin cook!

I had an uber long week. School was being school, with lots of work and thinking and little sleep. Friday I was late to get ready for the football game (we won 27-0 ). I had such a great time, though. :3 Saturday, I had to get up at 5 to get ready to go to school, I got there and ate a bagel. Then, our marching band practiced for 2 hours before we loaded up on the bus at about 10am. I listened to music for the trip, although I had to kidnap my sis's MP3 to do so. (Thanks, Laura! I'm glad you had a great Bday party!) When we got there, we had some time to have a bathroom break efore we got our uniforms on and started warming up. Mr. Ash (best band director in the fricken world) got us ready and told us to have a good time, put on a good show, grind the other bands into the ground, you know, the usual. Then it was show time. I got through most of the show until towards the very end, when I saw a judge walking by and I had a mind blank on what my music was. >.< Everyone was saying that they didn't do very well after the show, and I started worrying.

We were all VERY worried when our band director told us to wait out by the buses. We were convinced that we were in for it. We got back there, and he congradulated us. We did well! He told us to relax until the awards ceremony in the stands to watch the other bands. The bleachers were HOT. It burned just sitting down! I ended up having to leave the bleachers. I am now very tan on my right side. XD Anyway, time for the awards ceremony. We waited in the stands anxiously. We are a very fun-loving band, so while we were waiting, we had spirit challenges with the other bands, did a couple of dances, had fun. they started handing out the awards. The announced who won class 1a. Then came 2a (1a and 2a are classes, determined by how many horns you havein your band, my band is 2a, a relatively small band) they announced 3rd place. in 2nd was ou rnumber 1 rival (grudge rival, I should say, they aren't the best) and then we held our breath as we stood at attention. Mr. Ash had told us to not break attention, under any circumstances, win OR lose. The first place 2a band was- the golden Pirate marching band! We had a score of 67. something! WE HAD QUALIFIED FOR STATE!! XD Then after all the other bands had been given awards and such, they announced when the finalists (the top ten bands) would perform, in order of worst to best scores. We were to play sixth, beating out 3a bands and even a 4a band! At the very end of the day, the awards ceremony came (it is now around 9 or 10 pm). They announced the bands starting with tenth place... 9th... 8th... 7th... 6th, our grudge enemy placed... 5th, Our band! We were proud, our score had went up by 1.5 points! We loaded onto the buses and headed home, whereupon I rashed, too tired to eat or shower.

The next day (today) I slept until noon until I just had to get up. I took a shower, tried to wake up a bit, then went back to bed, until about 6 when dinner time came around. And here I am! I feel sick because I ate too much and my muscles ache from yesterday. Tomorrow I have pphysical training in ROTC, and it isn't going to be and easy day. After school, I have an Academic Team competition. Then we go back to school and I get to practice marching band for another 2 hours! I have a good day in line tomorrow, which I need to prepare for now. Thanks for reading, I'm out!
