rain rain go away...

friday was a football game so of course i had to go...

so i get there around 4pm or so and kind of hang out and make sure i had everything and what not and then we all reported to the auditorium for warm up. then our director went to check if it was still raining... it was! anyway we had to be on the field for pre game so we all walked out of the nice dry auditorium into the wet and foggy outside. we walk around the track surrounding the field and waited (in the rain) for directions. minutes go by and i can barely read my music because the rain was covering the plastic and going through to ruin the highlighter marks i had made! but we play and we march off the field. we sit in the bleachers and i get my drum situated and then our director says okay its raining hard enough we need to go to the gym. so we went to the gym. drum line went to the small gym and practiced a cadence and then hung out there while everyone else was in the big gym, we had lots of fun though :) but then half time comes. we walk out to the visitors side to get ready with 5 minutes and some odd seconds on the clock (and anyone who watches football knows that 5 minutes = about 10 minutes. especially here.) so we are getting soaked! and so are our instruments. but then our moment finally comes. we walk on the field, drum line playing the beginning to "Respect" (one of the two songs we were going to play) and then we begin the show we have been working on since band camp. now we (concert band) hadn't done it with the symphonic band since... our first show, but that was in blocks so really the last time we had done formations with them was band camp (concert band had practiced formations during band 2nd hour though) so it was a relief to have the full band to play with! especially for us drum line members! we did really well in spite of the rain and marched off field on clicks and went back to the band room and we were done. after the game was the Yearbook Dance- which i was planning on attending, but i ended up spending the night at Heather's (HR) instead :) but yeah it was a pretty fun and wet day all in all, and i think we did pretty well so im happy!! our next game is the 26th- Homecoming!!!
