Yesterday was crazy. First we went to a school about 15 minutes away to perform our show for an even that wasn't judged. It was so hot and we had black shoes so I got one blister on each of my big toes.
Then, we had an hour and forty-five minute drive to my first competition. I was pretty nervous, since our drum line last year took home high percussion in every competition. Luckily, we still beat the other AAAA bands, even the one which had a snare line twice the size of ours and a pretty big drum break. Our band came in second place of 3 or 4, and we got third in everything else.
I like high school band way better than middle school, haha.
Our practice wasn't good for us today. One of our best tuba players was absent, along with the drum major, and 10 other people.
The drum major was sick.

Ours was like that yesterday. Swine flu is going around the band like crazy right now, and I think I'm next :O
It's going to be interesting to see how this Friday goes.

Yeah, that and some other illnesses have been flying around like crazy. I think something is worse with my friend though (the tuba player). He was coughing up blood earlier.

Did you really just compare a drumcorp, the Blue Devils at that, to a college line?
No, I compared that shitty USC cadence to SVC's Electric Wheelchair and mocked how watered down it was. I'm no Devs fan, but The Ditty was a pretty tight jam if I do say so myself.
This is our show this year: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnahtqMPfts[/media]
If you are wondering why the bass guitar sounds a bit on the crappy side, it's because our bass amp blew up and we put it through the PA speaker. That happened last minute.

It's my senior year, and I'm fed up.[/QUOTE]
I rate you box.
[QUOTE=Uzislinger;17125436]Yeah our drumline kicks major ass. We're the biggest marching band in the country. Also the best[/QUOTE]
Doesn't matter how big you are... no one... and I mean no one will ever be better than Avon. (With the possibility of LD Bell... but that's a far stretch.)
