yeah..well..school starts Aug 13th here..so Blastoff (band camp) is August 6 to 10th from 1-8..today was just a music rehearsal to get the freshies used to the normal stands music and all of us to the show music...fun stuff..

~Angela

Geez, we only go 9-4 for 3 days (3 hours marching, 1 hour lunch, 3 hours for sectionals (my favorite part)), and after the third day, we have a pot luck.

Well..my band director is on something..so..he's big on lots of practicing and all that. His goal is to teach us all of the music and the whole drill by the end of camp. He always wants us to be perfect and keep up with the "tradition of excellence [our] band program has worked so hard to maintain these last twenty-? years." *gag* I guess it's not that bad..could always be worse :)

~Angela who just figured out her left from her right foot last year during Blastoff

When in doubt, left is right, right is wrong. :D

i always find a way to make fun of the band kids on my team.

~David who will not even attempt to do that here.

yeah...why is it that there seems to be quite a few band members in first.

And yet, only one of them is a male flute...

-Ed "I really gotta point that out again" McDonnell

The flute. . .
 

Well, Eddie. . .

If it's any consolation, I played the flute for a single summer. I taught myself how to play, wasn't very good, and then I went right back to the trumpet.

You see, when it came to the trumpet I was a musical prodigy. The flute required work.

I know that..and you have no clue how hard I laughed when I read that b/c my dad made fun of me one time for doing the "loser" thing with you hand making an "L" on your forhead the wrong way..his AP Chem students (you all know who you are..ugh..) never let me forget it..but thanks for the info :)

~Angela who got insulted many times by her dad's Chemists..if you knew them, you would understand what that's pretty bad

Now granted, the other side doesn't make an "R", but by process of elimination, that must be your right.

hmmm...i never noticed that before...
mike whos starting to wish hes going to kindergarten now, cuz theyve invented a ton of new tricks like that that they didnt have when i was there.

You'd figure someone would notice it after a quarter-million years of existance.

its been around for 1/4 million years? weve i been through all this???

Another trick for that left/right thing..
 

....is to find someone who knows which is left and right and have them paint an L on your left hand and foot and an R on your right hand and foot. I've been told that it's very effective.

~Angela who has yet to find someone who knows their left from their right who would be willing to help her
