<Dani’s POV>

                 “BEEP BEEP!” screeched my alarm clock. I reached over to my bedside table sleepily and switched it off. I blinked open my eyes only to see the time 5:30 shinning into my eyes. It was five thirty am, on a Monday. “I hate Mondays.” I muttered darkly throwing off the covers and sliding out of bed. I grabbed a towel and headed to my bathroom to get ready for my day.

              What you ask was I doing up at five thirty am? Today is the first day of band camp! I, Danielle, am a proud member of the Cuthbertson Marching Band!

               Well I am technically part of the marching band. I am one of twenty three color guard members. What is color guard you ask? It involves flags, rifles, sabers, and dance. If you want a better definition, Google it yourself.

                  By now I was ready for band camp. I was wearing my color guard t-shirt and a pair of basketball shorts with my hair thrown back into a ponytail. I trotted down the stairs and popped some bread into the toaster.

                   “Oh good, you’re up.” Said mom walking into the kitchen. I swear I jumped ten feet in the air. “Don’t do that!” I exclaimed.  “sorry.” she replied. “Ding” went the toaster. I took out the toast and slathered it with jelly. “OK let’s go!” said mom.

                   I grabbed my shoes and walked outside slamming the door behind me. I cleared the front porch steps with a huge jump and jogged to the car. “Let’s go to band camp!” I exclaimed shutting the car door.
