Dress Rehearsal Shenanigans

A/N: This takes place after band camp AND an accident involving the Drum Major and his older brother, who was drum major during my first year. His ribs are not that well and I am assigned to take his place when he can't conduct. This actually happens the day we have our first dress rehearsal, and Lindsey was asked to come and help out with the uniforms, so she is a uniform mom, and like her crazy self, she goes overboard and we have fun while trying on our uniforms for the first time and have the feeling of them while we perform. She was basically let loose underneath the school stage where all the uniforms and costumes and props were stored. The day was memorable, in a sense for all of those who saw her go a bit nuts underneath the stage.

Sometimes I bring a video camera with me so I can show off that I'm a not so normal person and Lindsey is a normal human being that needs to stop and think than to rush to the next thing. Lindsey found that if I talk about the weird things about me and my problems, then I act better and not have a lot of problems because of my genius intellect and psychotic tendencies which can get me in trouble a lot. If I hold things in for too long, then I explode with anger and will destroy stuff and possibly go out of control and go completely off the deep end, and have a psychotic break. So, to prevent this, she encourages me to use the camera as a way to calm the madness inside. It's very hard to explain, because it is weird, and I am the daughter of a Mad Man with a Box and a complete Psychopath, and I am quite possibly a mild psychopath, so it helps to talk about my history with evil people who want me dead, and also playing video games as well gets out some of my endless mad energy I seem to expend. My Youtube channel, which Lindsey set up for me, I use for video games, and random crap like my adventures touring with Lindsey because I can't be really left alone for weeks on end to my adventures through Marching Band and the Performing Arts, like WGI. Whenever I am in one of Lindsey's videos, I always ask her one thing in the middle of it. "Lindsey, what are we doing?" Because sometimes they are absurd and I have no clue what is even happening. For a genius, I'm pretty  clueless. Sometimes, on my videos, I just randomly film because it's a pretty funny scene.

I turn on camera and said, "Okay, me and these two," Camera shifted to show Audrey and Adam in the back, "Are going to marching band practice. And it's our dress rehearsal. We aren't really supposed to be here until 5:30, but Lindsey," Turning the camera to focus on Lindsey driving, "Was asked to come help the uniform moms get everyone in the right uniform, so we're here very early."

"You really have your camera on, Hannah?" Lindsey sighed, "They were insisting that I help because I don't know why."

"Linds, you were throwing yourself head first into writing a new album, and you are getting very crazy and you need to slow down and do something else for a change. You were driving us crazy." I pointed out, deadpanning, "You're going too fast. You need to slow down."

"How was I driving you crazy?!?" Lindsey asked me.

I stared at her, and said, "Running around, dragging us to and fro, dragging us to the studio, to music stores, parties which neither of us wanted to go because we have practice and we're the only kids there, and, oh yeah, turning off the television while I'm recording video games and doing commentary."

"How does that mean anything!?!" 

"I was trying to do an adventure map that was suggested for me when we were in Europe!!" I cried, "You do realize that the only equipment I needed was at home?!? I needed to get it done before school started!"

"You have barely any classes!"

"I'm going to be using the time I don't have classes to do work! And the help I need!"
