Haa.. soo.. last night was my first game. o.o;; My first band/football performance ^^;;; Well, lemme lay out the scrimmage of a band geek..

Okay, after school, Naomi and Amanda came home with me. We ate fish sticks and Amp (YeSH!) and then played DDR. So we DDRed 'til we had to leave.. which was at 5

So we get there, and we're a bit late, no big deal, so we practiced marching. This could be counted as pandemonium, pacing back and forth across a band room, rolling your feet for your life.. Ah well.

Here's where the real crazy stuff starts, the passing out of the uniforms.

So they had us wait 'til they called our names, though everyone was practically screaming, so it was kinda hard to hear. When I finally got mine, it was just.. wow. xDD

Sooo.. I got my pants, right? And I'm wearing these long shorts (oxymoron!) so my friend's like "Here, wear my sofies" so I'm like "okay" and these things, I'm not even exaggerating, were two inches of cloth off my waist xD So I'm trying to pull on my over-all pants, and these are WAAAAAAY too tight! And the girl who was changing with me was trying to zip them up.

So I'm holding my breath, and they're SO tight, I let it out real quick, and I pull a fucking muscle in my diaphragm! XDD So yeah, that was pretty bad. I traded them in for some better ones TT; Thank god. I could BREATH! But they had to pin them up 'cause they were so long. DAMN MY SHORTNESS!

Then it was Jacket time. This thing did not cover any one's ass, and I was no exception, so my huge butt was quit out there xX; The Bando shoes are crazy xDD And the HATS! OmG, I'd be part of band just to wear the hats! XDD

So yeah, we were all ready to go, we got inspected, then lined up outside. We marched into the stadium, and that was probably the peak of the exitement. Not to mention the Santaluces band was HUGE! XX

But yeah, we played the star spangled banner, then it started to rain, but that was okay at first. So we chilled, half time came, and the bands approached the field.

The Santaluces band went first, and they were magnificent. They did fucking Tai Chi while playing XDDD That was amusing. Then it was our turn, and it started to POUR! Poor Sinbad was drowning! His ship sank in a typhoon! That's what it sure as hell sounded like XDD Oh well, shit happens.

It was third quarter, and time for the traditional Band-mingling water break. We each got a bottle of water and talked with the other band. They were so polite ^^ Go them. Alexis, Naomi, and I just had to stand in one place, and a million people came up to us and shook hands. The general message was "Nice to meet you, your maching band sucked, I'm glad it rained on you" but they were nice about it, atleast. They tried to lie and we were just like "We know we sucked, you can tell us."

Mmkay, so we're back in the stand, our cheer leaders suck, little kids are stealing the Color Guard's wet flags, and the Santaluces band STEALS ALL OUR MUSIC! Our drum major will say "Louie Louie!" we'll flip our books, get ready to play, and the band acrost the field will blast the beginning notes to our planned song just as we take our breaths! ><

So yeah, that ticked us off. So while everyone was leaving, we played a few songs, and yeah. Then we left, a bit sad, but when we got into the room, the shit hit the fan o.o;;

Mr. White can be a scary guy xX;; We didn't notice we had to line, so we quickly did, shoving our hats back on, and we stood in a semi-circle around the three band directors, wet with rain and sweat, eyes set on nothing in particular, taking mental blows, for a straight half an hour. We weren't allowed to move, look around, or bend our knees, we just had to stand there.

And that.. that really hurts TT Oh well, shit happens. Hopefully we'll get better XX;

So that was my exciting evening. Bai!

I could never do that. I just tell him to fook off, and leave.
