Band Camp?!?!

HAaiiiiii!
So news numero uno. Mady is sick. She had the stomach flu, which sucks really bad, because no one likes to be sick, ESPECIALLY when it's dealing with your stomach. Annnnnnd when you are sick, you stay home. which brings me to news numero dos.

BAAANNNNDDDDDD CCAAAMMMMMPPPPP!!!!!!
No, I'm not really that excited. Well I am. But I'm not. It's complicated. So some of you may be thinking about band camp from what you've seen on movies and that whole "this one time at band camp..." so here's a crash course in the GHS Marching band's Band Camp.
1. We have about 3 hours total of down time. That is Our 1 1/2 hour luch, and the many water breaks because it's super freaking hot outside! Well... not so much anymore. But last week I thought I migth melt on the field at some points. We've even had people faint! But I'm getting off topic here.
2. We spend 3 hours in the morning specifically working on marching. And parading. (Random, parading looks like it's spelled weird, right? I think it does...) I hate parading. HATE SPINNERBAIT!
Parading sucks.
3. We spend 3 hours in the afternoon working only on music. Which is pre-game (William Tell, Silver & Gold, The Star-spangled Banner), our parade chart, and our show music. Our parade chart is easy this year because it's also our opener for our field show. Jason fondly calls it our 'Paropener' :P
So not much time for the whole "This one time at band camp..." moments. We still get a few, though. Hehe..

BUT MY WHOLE POINT is, Mady isn't at band camp because of stupid stomach flu. so Kathryn is very sad. :'( No lunch buddy, and no one to annoy Jeffery when we stand in front of the air conditioner during break :P
Another thing is that this made me realize exactly how close school is to starting! We have EXACTLY one week of freedom left. And then we start the torture grown-ups like to call school.

Actually, I need to go to bed very soon because I'm already getting up ridiculously early in the morning, and i need my sleep! Goodnight interwebs!

True Friends hog the air conditioning with you at band camp!
