August 1-4

Monday was started at 6 AM. I was the first one up, I got the paper, and left for band all before 7 AM.
 At band, all we did was basic review, go over warmups, and practice the audition drill. To be honest, it was VERY boring as aJunior compared to being a Sophomore. Lunch was nice because the family went to Spring Creek. It was also nice when practice ended early for the last block.

Tuesday was a bit better. We did a bit more complicated marching and music, but it was still boring. Paul came over for lunch, were we swam and split 45 chicken nuggets from McDonalds. We also learned spirit show music.

Wednesday was audition day. I did really well, so I'm not too worried about getting a spot. Because of auditions, I got home at 9:40. I just chilled at home and played games. At the music block, we worked on spirit show and part 1 again. Finally, at the evening block, we couldn't get on the field, so we watched an animation of Part 1. The show looks legit, yet extremely difficult. Then we spent a good deal of the time learning how to read a drill chart.
To top it off, we did....more music!!!!! YAY!!1not really.

Thursday. we were at Pennington! we got drill to the spirit show, and then spent the entire time learning the spirit show. we got done at 10:15, then Blake and I swam at my house before going to Twin Peaks for Matt Wells' birthday. There were a ton of funny stories shared and a good t ime had. at the music block, I dodged warmups by taking forever to get my uniform. My strategies included taking awhile to put on my uniform, catching people with Nick Soto, and just not getting in line. at the end of the music block, we learned a new tune, and a new variation on the fight song. At the end of the day, we pracitced our quick turns, ie, the turns without stopping. And that took up the entire block.
