What Happens in Band...

Never mess with the Band Nerds...

Florida Marching Band Competition - 09

Sun Nov 22, 2009, 7:43 AM
  • Mood: Neglect
  • Listening to: The Haunting - Kamelot
  • Watching: A Haunting
  • Eating: Cookie Dough
  • Drinking: Cherry Diet Coke
So my high school band (Newsome High) goes to Tropicana Field for semi-finals and did great, although it was not our best show, but we mainly blamed it on fears and about half the band's infamiliarity with the echo in the dome (which is really annoying!) and went to the mall for lunch/dinner. So there, my best friend a freshman clarinet player gets seriously sick and both me and her boyfriend has to carry her to the buses! We were both really scared for her because we had never seen her like that. So we get there and watch some of the 4A bands perform and while we are there, we are trying to get her to take some Motrin and when she does, it's like a miracle! She is back to normal and ready to march! I was so happy!

So we get out for Finals onto the field and the entire band is ready. We got the motivational speech from our directly and we marched on the field...with OUR BEST SHOW EVER!!! It was amazing! We could hardly contain our joy when we marched off the field. It was perfect! Nobody missed a step-off...no one came in early! We were all so high we were so happy!

And then the Retreat came...and we were so nervous...and then they called us for 3rd out of 5. We were so bummed because Newsome High school has gotten 3rd place for the last 3 years they have competed at state! We were all so upset!

So I am sitting here with my tub of Recees Peanut Butter Cup cookie dough, seriously bummed out, and waiting for the pictures from last night to be posted...seriously bummed!

My starting instrument is clarinet, but I change to a flute, trumpet, and alto during my half-time show...a majority of the march is on my flute. And you?

Flute and picc are my main instruments (and my favorite! =D ). Not in marching band I play piano, and in indoor drumline I play marimba's. =] I would love to learn how to play clarinet, though! It seems really cool!
