The Army Girlfriend

Chapter 1 Band

         Okay so I may be a band geek but that does mean I'm not pretty, cause I am. When was the last time you looked at all the band people? There are a couple of very good looking people then some that are average looking and  the rest, the one that every one calls nerds or geeks or whatever. However looks don't make band geeks. It's there love of music and the level of weirdness they have. Everyone in band has something that makes them weird. this can be a number of things and mine.... well let's just say I tend to have a habit of talking to myself..... and people watching. Not the crazy stalking a person....usually, the I'm bored and I don't have anything better to do. Now the talking, hum how do I explain that. Let's see, I can be thinking of things I need to do but say them out loud or I'm talking to someone but they aren't paying attention to me or I talk to softly for them to hear me. What were you expecting?  For me to have full blown out conversation by myself with myself? I may be a member of the band but I'm not that weird or so I'm told.

     I know my band life isn't very interesting to you but it helps, at least I think it does, to understand a littlAe bit more about my life.

   In my school, which I've been going to since I was a freshman, band is a very big part of the school. I was senior. Though nobody believed me when I told them unless I showed them my school ID which has the year we graduate. So for the past three years either the homecoming queen or king have been part of the band. My senior year was different. Neither the homecoming queen or king were part of the band but the second runner up for king was. It just goes to show that band in my school is a big part in the school. We done get treated as your typical band nerds.

   Before the beginning of the school year the band kids meet up 2 weeks before to have band camp. It isn't as easy at it seems.    Even I thought as a freshman how hard can band camp be? It's not really physically tough. It's just really long and hot. Try standing out side for for 5 hour holding an instrument. I said not really physically tough because you try carrying a tuba for 5 hours in 97 degree weather without water breaks. Camp is to make everyone remember how to march and helps the learn how to march. This isn't the hard part. Almost anyone with two legs can march (not really), the harder part is giving the freshman instruments and having them play while they march. This needs practice and being good at multitasking. To be completely honest I couldn't go an entire show playing and marching until my junior year. There are just so many things one needs to learn in marching band and that takes time and practice.

   I started writing this as a journal on how I meet my boyfriend. Instead I'm going to make a story but I don't know how to do that without explaining things about myself first. I want to start at the very beginning.  The first day of school. However I need help making it as clear as I can. Does anyone have any tips, information, or ideas? That'd really help. Thanks :)!

I miss him, so I thought this might be a good way to remember him by, but I'd also like to have people that may read this enjoy it.
