The Life Of A Teenager

2/20/16

Dear diary,

Today was soooo much fun! Except the fact that I had to wake up at 3:45... After being inside the middle school building for only about 20 minutes, we loaded onto the bus and van and started driving to our destination. We made it in 2 hours and got our things out of our trailer. My first competition of winter percussion finally came; I was kinda nervous. Right after worm ups and before going out to play we did the bass drum circle, and told each other good luck.

Billie, one of the band parents, helped put the tarp out onto the field. Our tarp this year is sky blue with some dark clouds on them. We pulled it out onto the field as the timer started and the sideline ran to put their instruments in the right place. Within minutes we were ready to play, and the show went on.

After the performance, we fold the tarp so it was a snake and slithered to the tarp refolding area. As the parents refolded the tarp, we put the instruments back in the trailer, so it's ready to go back home. We took pictures for the year book, and just for keeps then took our uniforms off and put on normal clothes. We walk inside with a brown wrist band that said " Waffle House " on them. And it's apparently a coupon... Meh.

We go inside as a group and scatter like ants. Most go for the gift shop that has a lot of stuff that says sideline or drumline. The others, including me, go to the concession stand. Food and I get along very well, I think. I looked at the list they sell, and decide me wants pizza. You get 2 slices!! I go in line, that wasn't very long, but felt like it took centuries, and order my pizza. I walk around to find someone to hang around with and found Greg, my father in the band family (I call him fatha), and waited for the doors to open.

We went in as soon as it did. Trek the band that was going to perform good luck and took our seats with the rest of the group.

We watched other bands do their thing and left for home.

Heh, it's May now and completely forgot about this book... I very sorry. I'll try and write like a recap of what happened, but most likely I'll just start from where I'm at... Sorry again!!
