FOUR STAHHS! / Monday, October 29, 2007
yeap! that's right! WE GOT GOLD!
finals was on sat. and it started out REAL DROOPY. got to school at 7.40ish or earlier and it was raining! so yeah..
around 8 we started heading out to the gym to practice in block. then went outside at 9ish and the parents were handing out ALL WEATHER EMERGENCY PONCHOS! made from thin plastic! that lucas called FANCY!
the drizzling rain came and went every so often, mostly being around. and everyone had taken a shower by the end of practice.. except for those who felt like wearing their ALL WEATHER EMERGENCY PONCHOS!.. like a few people and colourguard.
then we went back in at 10, drying off and drinking hot cocoa. and did an ensemble music rehearsal. then off to the coach bus! yes! coach bus! with their sometimes stinky toilets!
started a few pre-cal.. which i was not very efficient at. and then dozed off... woke up! we're at mcdonald's at sanford! ordered from the dollar menu, a mcChicken with tomatoes and onions and a soda! just for $3+..
half an hour or so it was back to the bus. and off to sanford high for the marching band finals! still drizzling rain.. on and off and back on..
finally saw salem and they were indeed HUMUNGO! 300+ eh! their colourguard looked like they were in pj's though.. because they were in beige ma!
so, by the time it was our turn to get on the field, and because we were last and all, the field was TRASHED. like you really had to do roll steps or else you would slip fall and die by the wrath of skeff!.. well, maybe not die.. but feel damn guilty if we didnt get four stahs!
fortunetely no one fell. but by the end, the colourguards' dresses were all stained with mud. it was like :o!! did they slip and fall?? NOOOOOOoooooooo!.. they didnt lah.. it was the flags. phew. by the end of the show, in review.. or whatever that ending march is called, i could not stick my left foot up anymore.. all sore, couldn't feel anything.
oh man, retreat. it was one of the most anticipating moments ever. waitting and praying to god for four stars GOLD... was the longest wait of my life! and then... WE GOT GOLD
i'm sleepy. i will blog more later.
