Show Choir Comp Craziness (including band kids)

So, for all of you who don't know what show choir is, I'll explain briefly before I tell you about all the shenanigans that happened yesterday. If you do know what it is, just skip this next paragraph.

Basically, show choir is what it sounds like: hormonal teens in expensive outfits, dancing and singing their hearts out. Really, it is so much more than that. Typically, the traditional show choir set includes a high-energy opener, a novelty song (which can be almost ANYTHING) a ballad, a changing song (where guys and girls alternate so they can change costumes backstage), and an even higher energy closer. Varsity groups have the costume change, and a jazz band playing in the background. As a freshman, I am in the prep group, and do not have a costume change, and only have a few instrumentalists. As far as uniforms go, traditionally the girls wear a dress with tights and tan heels, with ostentatious makeup and curled hair with some kind of top bump. Guys normally wear suits, but there are lots of exceptions to this rule.

Phweeew. Glad I got that out of the way. Anyway, most of the kids in show choir are in band, including most of the people Ive talked about before in this book. Just FYI, I'm not going to talk about how our performance went. (that would be boring) I'm gonna talk about how the stuff after went...

I started the day by halfway hanging out with my "friend group" (which is really crappy and ignoring me BTW) Then, I left them to hang with the uppers.

At our lunch table was:

Hayley

Cora

Bob

Nathan H (the senior)

Marti (Nathan's girlfriend and the mello section leader)

So, Nathan H bought both a hamburger and hamburger soup for lunch. He ate sooo much that he barely touched the soup. Then, Marti (being Marti), spooned it into a half-eaten Cheetos bag that no one would finish.

We all started daring Bob to give it to someone and tell them he barfed. It took a lot of pressuring, but eventually he did. The kid was so grossed out, and weirded out. It took him 5 minutes or so before we told him that it was just soup.

Then we tried it on this other kid, and he took it from us and said he was gonna eat it...(we didnt have enough time to tell him it was soup) We never saw that kid again.

On another random note, Nathan brought his ukulele, and was just playing random things on it as we talked. Kids would just walk up to him and ask for song requests, and he would just pretend they didn't exist... XD

Also, They were selling these cupcakes with little crowns around them. So... we took two of them, bobby-pinned them together, and put it on Bob's head. At first, he didn't like it, but when random kids complimented him, or even BOWED TO HIM, the power started getting in his head. There were also big paper crowns in the homerooms, so whenever Bob found someone wearing one, he went and told them that HE could be the only king. He even tried ordering me to execute them. It was so great XD.
