Entry #17: Parade, Party, and Rehearse-a-thon
This is Fluffy signing in.
-yawn- Hey everybody. Today was a pretty lazy day today for me. Yesterday was a big day for our band! We did so many things and I felt so tired today... xp I was so tired today, all I could do was nap, nap, nap! Once I had a little more energy, I decided to start this entry. So here it is, mah seventeenth entry! ~♪
Today is 9/19/2010... it is 8:55pm... and I am not looking forward to school tomorrow xp I NEEDS MORE REST!!!
In this entry, I will talk about yesterday’s events! 3nodding
I had to wake up at 6 o’ clock in the morning... bleh... but once I got up, I realized that we had the Poway Days Parade today! 4laugh Yippee!!! ~♪ I had to wear my Westview Gold polo shirt, khaki shorts, and white shoes and socks. I quickly ate my breakfast of two rolls of bread with pimento spread, then grabbed my flute, and waited for my carpool buddies, Adam and Austin.
Once we got to school, we waited for more people to start arriving. Then we went outside to stretch. After that, we boarded the buses. I sat next to Tina while Adam, Melinda, Carla, and my new friend Christy (who is a freshman) sat in the seats near us. The other freshman flutes, Ankit, Melissa, and Louis (I’m not sure if I spelled their names right... I’m terrible with names sweatdrop ) sat near us too!
Then the buses dropped us off at a parking lot near the parade area. We found a good place to warm up and practice our march and our fight song. Then it was time for us to perform in the parade! I wish I could find a video of it on YouTube, but oh well. It was lots of fun! But the freshmen were all complaining about how tiring it was :p. I told them that if they have lots of fun and enjoy the parade, it won’t seem like a lot of work and it’ll be over before ya know it! ^w^
Once the parade was over, it was time to board the buses and head back to school for lunch! Each section would have their own lunch and the staff will judge who has the best lunch. the flutes had a potluck sort of lunch. I brought banana lumpia! (In Filipino, it’s called Toron) Everyone liked it! We also had some Chow Mein, some cookies, regular lumpia, and much much more! It was soooooooo yummy!
After lunch, it was time for a pool party! mrgreen I don’t really like to wear my bikini though... xp but I wanted to show everyone that I kinda know how to swim nows! I’m still kinda new to it, so I just stayed near the edge of the pool and near the lane lines. But I can swim from one end of the pool to the next! Yay me! -claps- blaugh Megan, Sarah and Adam could hardly believe that I could swim rather well.
Oh, I should probably mention that I had forgotten to bring a towel and a spare change of clothes and underclothes... I has terrible memory... sweatdrop I was waiting for my mom to call me so that she could give me my stuff. I checked my phone quite often, but she hadn’t called yet...
The rest of the flute section came over to the pool to tell Adam, Melinda, and I that we have section pictures to do. I told them my situation and they said that they would come back later to see if I was ready. I started walking towards the pool to take another swim (btw: I still have a little fear of water, so I don’t really like to jump in).
But before I could get into the pool, someone had pushed me in... I was so scared... I almost drowned... It freaked me out so much, I started crying cry I don’t know who had pushed me in, but it had really scared me. Megan saw me crying on the other edge of the pool and she comforted me. I got out of the pool and walked over to my stuff. Our flute section leader, Katie, saw me crying and I told her what happened. She comforted me as well and told me to go to the front of the school theater when I was ready for our section picture.
I called my mom and she told me that she wouldn’t be able to make it to school sad . I ended up borrowing a towel from Megan’s friend and I had to borrow Megan’s sweatpants. Then I started heading towards the front of the theater. When I got close enough for the flutes to see me, they began to cheer! I’m not sure if they were cheering cuz I made it on time or they cheered cuz they wanted to cheer me up, but I felt better just seeing them all happy :’) We took one normal picture and one goofy picture. After the pictures, we headed back to the band room.
Once we got in the band, we had some time before this speaker guy arrived. Since I was wearing my bikini underneath my clothes, I had to borrow Tina’s jacket so I could tie it around my waist so no one would see the... ahem... wet stains that would appear on the sweats I borrowed.
[the rest of this entry was resumed on 9/20/2010]
Then the speaker guy, Mr. Kuhns, arrived. It’s a little difficult to explain what his point was, but I know he was kinda like an inspirational speaker person. He was really funny and we played a lot of games! That went on for quite some time, and then he had to leave sad But we gave him a big round of applause and cheered lots for him!
Then it was time for our night rehearsal! We got learn the first half of the fourth/final movement! WOOTNESS! xd Our field show is so amazingly amazing! I’m should post a video of it here from YouTube sometime!
Rehearsal finally ended at 9:00pm and I helped bring up a timpani drum. I stayed around the band room a bit then finally left with my carpool buddies.
Once I got home, I was feeling so incredibly tired, I barely had any energy to use the computer! But I did have the energy to take a shower then change into pj’s for bed.
I didn’t do much besides sleep for the rest of the night. Ahhh... that was an EPIC rehearsal! 3nodding well, that’s it for this entry! Ta-ta for nows! ~♪
