Hmm... my junior and senior years were the craziest.
Junior year - teammates estimated I spent over 400 'known' hours just doing scouting work to prepare myself for the upcoming competition. During build season we would work Mondays and Wednesdays from about 5-10 pm, then Fridays and Saturdays from 9am -10pm. Until the last week - we moved into the shop that Friday and didn't go home till the following Tuesday night. *The night before Ramp Riot I was performing in a field show, and don't remember anything after marching on the field. I know somehow I was carried off the field and taken away and I remember fighting against medical recommendation at 2 am to leave to catch the bus going to comp. I made it, just in time - with floor team members holding me upright in the player station all day.
Senior year - insane meeting schedule of Monday thru Thursday from about 5-10pm. All Saturdays except two from around 9-5. The second to last weekend worked all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 9-9ish. And the same as the previous year, we came in Friday and work until ship date - however, with the extension we lived there a whole week. (Yeah, in a school wood shop... mmm... the memories.... *snow*....) I too spent MANY days throughout the season at the hospital all day sick out of my mind... and I would be convincing enough to be out for several hours at night time so I could go to the meetings, then return to the hospital before I was dead.
Ohh.. the good 'ol days will be missed... errmm... maybe not.
