"That's my BOYFRIEND. He's MINE. So HAH!"
Have you ever had one of those moments where you just need to put iTunes on random, turn the volume up all the way, and then sing at the top of your lungs to whatever song comes up? Yup, I'm having one of those right now. "Breathe" is on right now. :]
So anyway...I never posted about Bucs! And right now I'm waiting for DK to come over and I don't feel like doing any more work today...so I figured now is as good of a time as any.
Ok, Saturday.
So first we had to go pick up JWaz and then go to DK's house ("Old School" is on now). Haha, we got to the Waz's house and I go up to the door and knock and a little boy answers and he just LOOKS at me and I'm like, "Is Jonathon here?" and he goes, "Yeah...JONATHON! There's a GIRL here for you!!!" it was HYSTERICAL. ;D
After we got dropped off and all of us piled into the van and we were off! Me, Andrew (DK's little brother, he's a freshman), and JWaz (freshman too) all talked about high school and what it's like and different classes and finding your way around and what all the teachers are like and general stuff like that. It was actually a pretty good conversation. I found out that Andrew can actually talk. ;D Once you get him going, he just GOES (like DK...haha!). Turns out he's nervous about high school...so I tried my best to reassure him it isn't that bad. It was HILARIOUS cause talking to Andrew ("It's Gonna Be Love"...I'll just update when it's a new song) I noticed SO many similarities between him and DK when they talk. Just their general mannerisms. How they phrase certain things. How, if they don't have an answer, they kinda pause, breathe in slowly, sway back and forth (or turn their head to the side if they're sitting down), and just give a general answer, like, "Yeah...well..." or "Whatever". Very funny. :]
Haha! When we were getting closer to the stadium DK was texting me, asking how close we were and all that ("Must Have Done Something Right") and so I was telling everyone in the van what he was saying and all that, and then randomly I asked, "Does anyone have chapstick?" and DK's mom said something like, "We're five minutes away from him, there's no way we can get chapstick to him right now" and I'm like, "Uh...no...the chapstick was for ME." It was great. ;D
Once we got there we parked (the parking helper people duder thingeys were VERY good, all smiles, those peeps NEVER smile, I was impressed ;D), and then got into the stadium and found our seats. We sat on Side One, three seats from the top, on the 35. They were GREAT seats. I LOVED them. So we sit and I get another text, this one from Jake, and I look and see he's coming up the steps to come sit with us. It was cool to get to see him, JWaz wasn't too happy though, THAT was funny. He was like, "We've already seen Jake like THREE TIMES at Band Camp...we have to see him AGAIN???" ("The Jazz Police")
Then DK came up and sat with us!!!! I was happy I got to see him before the show, even though he hadn't SHOWERED!!! ;D
So he sat with us for like 30 minutes or something like that and we're all sitting there waiting for the competition to start and ALL OF A SUDDEN, this voice comes over the loud speaker, "Due to the weather, we are asking everyone to please get out of their seats and move to the parking area under the building directly to our left closest to the stadium. Thank you."
I was like GAH. WE HAVE THE BEST SEATS. I DON'T WANT TO MOVE. But we had to...so EVERYONE in the stadium got up and either went to their car or the garage place. Jake and JWaz went to Jake's car to get Jake's jacket (it was getting cold) and then the plan was that they would run back up to our seats once it stopped raining to reserve them for everyone else.
So for like half an hour...I stood in the center of this parking lot thingy under a bowling alley I think it was? Yeah...did absolutely nothing. Just stood there...DK called once but I could barely here him cause apparently he was in a car with some of the other Bucs guys and they were having a good time and messing around with high notes and stuff. But I met this guy named Eddie via speaker phone. :P
The rain let up around 7:29 (show was supposed to start at 7), and so we walked back up to the stadium and got our same seats. YESSSSS.
Some more of the helper dudes were handing out paper towels so we could wipe down the stands (it was REALLY REALLY WET) but they didn't help at all...so I was like, whatever, I'll have a wet butt, I'll live. Jake tried to wipe it off with his jacket, but it didn't really help anything.
And then...GUESS WHAT. IT STARTED RAINING AGAIN. And not just like a drizzle...it RAINED. HARD. So ALL AROUND ME I see people whip out their umbrellas and jackets and just...LOTS OF WATER PROOF STUFF. And I'm just sitting there with NOTHING. I'm in shorts and a T-shirt...and it's pouring...so Jake picked up his already soaking sweatshirt and held it over his head and me, him, and JWaz tried to fit under it but it didn't really work, so I just gave up and sat in the rain.
Haha! There was a funny moment though...me and Jake were just talking about really random things and those silly Facebook quiz thingies came up ("Showpiece") and we were talking about those ones where it's like, "If you were in a zombie movie, would you die first?" that stuff. And he's like, "Yeah...you'd die first Rachel...sorry." and sitting right in front of us were these two elderly ELDERLY men and one of them mumbled to the other, "I'M gonna kill them before the zombie does if they don't SHUT UP." I DIED. It was great. ;D
The show finally started, and an alumni group went first (just standing, they don't march) and they were fun, not the cleanest but it was enjoyable.
Then the first competition group...Shenadoah something or other...they STANK ("Nothing Left To Show"). It was painful to watch. OUR marching band was better than them at our first show last year...North Penn...*shudder*
The corps that followed were ok...but I was LITERALLY shaking the entire time. Naked chicken bumps galore...
During the intermission ("Chasing Cars"), me, JWaz, and Jake walked out to his truck, got in, and CRANKED up the heat! We were ALL freezing. We sat in there for about 30 minutes (we missed one of the corps...) and then walked back to the stadium, got some food (I saw my AP teacher from last year!!!!!!!! BEST TEACHER EVA. Well...him and Mr. Murphy), and then went back to our seats.
The corp that went on before the Bucs was pretty good, I really enjoyed their music and they had some great visual stuff too. They also had this one guard guy who was just...AMAZING. I noticed him earlier on in the show, and pretty much the rest of the time I just watched him. I mean, he could be doing the same thing as everybody else but it just looked so much BETTER. And he didn't drop at ALL during the show. AMAZING.
Haha, after that corp finished someone behind us said, "The Bucs are gonna have competition tonight" and I just LAUGHED.
Then the Bucs came to the field...I love those uniforms. Oh man...so good... ("Never Again")
The whole time they were setting up and all that good stuff we were trying to find DK. It was SO funny. We were like, "There he is!" and I'd be like, "Jake...that person's carrying a TRUMPET."/"...oh."
Then we found him by the 15!!! And yes, we screamed his name. :] :] :]
I had told myself I would follow him through the show, but once it started my eyes went EVERYWHERE. The pit, the guard, the tubas, the...EVERYTHING. It was just AMAZING. There needs to be a better word to describe how BEYAWESOM it was...beyawesom doesn't even cover it...BUCAWESOM? I dunno...I'll have to work on that...
But it was just so good...I LOVED it. And then at one point ("Tight") I found DK and followed him for a little while, but then I lost him!!!!!!!! :(
It was the COOLEST feeling though, watching it and knowing that he was there, he was a part of it. It's funny...cause he talks about it ALL THE TIME. But after seeing it, it was like, well DUHHHHHHHHHH. I was SO proud of him, and I dunno how to describe it...but it's like you watch something that's totally amazing and you're just blown away and then you think about how HE'S down there and he's worked on this for SO LONG. Me saying I was proud of him doesn't even begin to cover it. It was like, "Oh yeah, you BETTER believe I know someone in Bucs. And guess what? You see that amazing marcher down there? Yeah? That's my BOYFRIEND. He's MINE. So HAH!!!" kinda like that...except MORE. I LOVED it, it was just amazing...
The ride home was fun ("Sadie Hawkins Dance") but DK was EXHAUSTED. It was funny...he'd tell me something and then two minutes later he'd tell me the SAME THING. He didn't even realize he was doing it! So the rest of the night was good, but seeing the show was the best part by FAR.
So anyway...I never posted about Bucs! And right now I'm waiting for DK to come over and I don't feel like doing any more work today...so I figured now is as good of a time as any.

Sternum... ;D
Yesterday was SUCH a good day for me...well, OVERALL. There were parts that were nicht so gut...
Practice started outside, but then we had to quickly move indoors cause of the rain, so we did some stretching and block stuff in the gym. I think it was some of the best sideways marching I've ever done. :] And it was HYSTERICAL cause we were doing different tempos and stuff and Mr. O. kept saying, "Sternum! Sternum! STERNUM!" but obviously people weren't turning their sternums to the front. So he stopped us at one part and was just like, "Ok, I've been trying not to use this word cause it's a little inappropriate but I think I'm allowed to use it here for educational purposes, I think it'll make us all better. So when I say STERNUM just imagine that I'm actually saying BOOBIES." Everyone started CRACKING UP. And what's even funnier, is that a lot of the people with the 'sternum' issues before, got better. So that'll probably be a band joke for awhile... ;D
Then we went into sectionals, worked on some stuff, and then lunch time! I tallied up the final points and...*drumroll*...the Woodwinds/Low Voices won!!!! YES. :] The whole week there were times when people were like, "Eh...the points don't really matter" but they did to me! I'm a LITTLE competitive...
After lunch we went back outside (it had cleared up for a bit), and cleaned parts at the end of Part Three. I'm finally feeling good about the swaying part at 46. I'm kinda really curious to see what that all looks like...hmm...
So we had been outside for about 15 minutes and all of a sudden (like literally, it just HIT ME) I felt SICK. Stomach. Bad. Cramps. Ugh. It was bearable though, just rather uncomfortable and hard to focus on other stuff.
Then we got back into sectionals and I felt like I was gonna die...my cramps have NEVER been that bad before. I felt like such a wimp...at the end of exercises I'd sit down when everyone else was standing...ugh...I hated myself...
Amy gave me some of her pretzels to try and help, but they didn't really do much good. But I pushed through, I wasn't gonna sit out. Then after practice was done we got pizza and soda and it helped a LOT. Like BOOM, I was sick, and then BOOM, I felt better. It was the most BIZARRE thing. So I was fine...for about an hour. And then BOOM again...yugh. Luckily I've been fine all of today.
Oh! Haha! Funny moment!!! Ok, so I was in the back room wanting to throw up SO badly (cause then you know you'll feel better) and DK was with me, and at like the SAME EXACT time I leaned in to hug him, Jordan comes in and asks some random question. Then he's like, "Oh...oops...sorry, I"m interrupting you guys." It was HILARIOUS.
So then it was a joke the rest of the night.
Then came our Parent Preview!!! It was inside (boo!) but I don't think I would have been able to do my best if it had been outside cause I wasn't feeling well again. So...thanks God! ;D
We started with a Drill Down. I LOVE Drill Downs, they are SO much fun. I was usually the last freshman in last year so I was like, "Ok, I got it this year!" but nope, I didn't do so well during band camp. But then...Parent Preview...I WAS IN THE TOP 3. I was like HOLY SMOKES HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? It was me, DK, and Amy. So Mr. O. started calling commands and at one point I messed up, almost ran over Amy, but kept going anyway. So we 'halted' and I was facing the opposite way than DK and Amy, but I was like...NOPE. I'M NOT LEAVING UNTIL HE TELLS ME TO. It was funny. :]
Then we played the show twice, the second run was my best. It felt good. I absolutely LOVE the ballad in Part Three. And I have to agree with Shep, the whole show---visual and music---is really growing on me. Like...it doesn't feel like a 'petty' high school marching band show, it feels GOOD. That's the best I can explain... :P
Awards were good and fun, and then we got to see the seniors from last year. I MISS STEVE. I never thought I'd say that...but I MISS HIM. His sarcastic negative comments...you learn to love em. ;D
Ok, we have company coming over in like two minutes and I'm sitting here in my cami so I better go put a shirt on...ugh, it's hot.
BUT I GET TO GO TO DK'S SHOW LATER. I AM SO PUMPED. I'm debating whether or not to scream his name at the top of my lungs...he doesn't like when I do it...hmm...we'll see. ;D

Band Camp
So tonight is Parent Preview, which means it's the last day of band camp... :(
It's funny, cause the week before band camp I was SO pumped up for it (haha, Soo Jin is PUMPED), but I was like, "Yeah, I'm so excited for it now but I bet during it I'll just be wishing it was over", but NOPE. I proved myself wrong! I LOVED band camp this year, it was just so fun and I've missed marching band SO INCREDIBLY MUCH. Plus I got a pretty good burn this year (which will EVENTUALLY turn into tan...please make that be soon...my shoulders have been hurting for a week...).
And the best part of band camp was...THAT WE FINISHED THE ENTIRE SHOW YESTERDAY. ON A THURSDAY. NOT EVEN THE LAST DAY OF BAND CAMP. IT'S DONE. COMPLETE. FIN.
We went through the last 10/15 pages SO fast...haha, we have the whole show done movement-wise but I still have to work musically at that part at S. Duh-duh DUH *shift to the right* duh-duh-DUH *shift some more* Yeah...
Band camp was good this year. :]

I just typed out and published a post kinda just letting my feelings out...
But after seeing it on the page I realized I didn't want you to read it cause it'd be wrong. You apologized. I need to accept it and move on. Just because I'm hurt doesn't give me the right to lash out at you. Pain never does anyone any good.
So I'm sorry if anyone saw that post the three minutes it was up.

Someone posted this quote on facebook and I like it, so I thought I'd share.
"Go ahead world...break me down, take the people I love away from me, watch me get hurt & my heart broken, and make me stand alone...But don't be suprised when I build myself back up and come back stronger than ever...It's time I start lookin out for number one."
I'm not saying that's how I'm feeling right now (for all you worryiers out there ;D), I just liked it, it's good.
