i haven't had a lot of time to leave a post on here lately. yesterday wasn't that eventful. just pool time from the afternoon till 4 pm and then it was time to go home and get ready for more band camp.
yesterday we learned the opening charts. and it's nothing complicated really. all we do is run out from behind these props on the field and then into our positions for when the music starts. the props were marked on the field with chalk lines but eventually they'll be these things (i'm not sure exactly what they're gonna look like) with camo netting all over the place around it. and the battery will play and imitate the sound of helicopters and then we all run out onto the field and it looked pretty cool. and i got my uniform last night. it's just this army camo jacket and camo pants. it's too bad that we don't get to wear combat boots which i think is weird.
then after band camp, we (my posse of friends) went out to kristin's house and we hung out there and walked down to the bridge and stuff and the camp ground down there. it was pretty cool. and it was dark. we found a few toads on the way.
and then today i got my hair cut for the first time in a month or two and now it feels so much shorter. and after that, i went to the county fair. i got three first place ribbons and one second place ribbon. so i did pretty good! i'm glad i won something. after that, i went directly to my friend david's house and we hung out there for a while and played halo and ate food with a bunch of others. there was ten or twelve there i think. directly from there, we went to band practice.
practice went well tonight and we practiced running out from behind the chalk marked props about a million times and then practiced dying for a while. so that was interesting. and then after that i got back to the house and well, here i am now.
