We had our first competition last Saturday and we got straight superiors!!!!!!! My band has never done that before!! We were all freaking out!!!

Charlie

So, we got a dog. This is our Charlie. His is a 5 year old Lhasa-poo. He is so loveable and sweet! We got him on Friday and it feels like we have had him forever! We rescued him from a shelter. He is amazing!

Tropical Storm Irene.

So, we made it through our first tropical storm. We got outer bands but still. The picture of the peir has waves going 1/2 way up and spray going over the top...the pier is 30 feet from water to top. Then national seashore road is closed...sand blew over the road. And since our sand is white it looked like snow! It was weird!!!!

Stuff 'n things.

So, it's the second week of school. It's going pretty good. High school is harder than I thought it would be!!!
We have our first football game on Friday...and the band is marching our first song of our show...YIKES!!!!! Leila and I are already nervous! We will do good...as long as we can remember the drill!

Rookie camp

Well, last week was rookie camp. I learned how to march, and started to learn how to play the music. Well, on Tuesday I was so frustrated and tired I got in the car and was in tears. The music is in a time signature I have never even heard of, let alone play! But, I got it!!! I can pretty much play the opener and on one of the other songs I can play most of it, so that's good! It was hard!!! I had to get up at 6:30 all week and was on my feet till 12. But, it was fun!! Lots of funny times, but hard times as well. I will say how ever that I am not looking forward to the all day band camp in Aug.
