Sophomore Year so far.

So, I have decided to do a post on sophomore year so far. And it has been crazy, and it's only the 2nd 9 weeks!! I am loving the classes I am taking in the public school, and band as always is awesome. This year my band is hippies, and we love it!! I also went to homecoming this year, and it was so boring! I left early!! I got my first school pic this year, thought that was pretty cool! This weekend is our last competition, so really looking forward to that! Not much else going on other then my crazy youth group!!! I'll post after Saturday with results from the competition.

THat's how my band does it!

So we had our district competiton on Sat. Straight superiors for the second year in a row!! RAIDER BAND PRIDE!

Sophomore Year.

Well...I am a sophomore. This year I am doing 3 classes at the high school and 3 at home. I do band, then I go to Biology Honors then Geometry. Biology is kinda fun because one of my band friends is in it. I don't know anybody in Geometry, but I don't really care. I have survived 2 days of "public school" since I had never been in a public school classroom until yesterday. It will be interesting to see how the year goes. Band is good. Our show this year is "Summer of Love, 1967"...It will be better once we get enough days with out rain to actually march and put the show on the field!! And come to think of it, the show will be better when my band teacher gives us music for the rest of the show and drill!! We only have drill for the first song and 1/2 the second...and we don't have music for anything but the 1st and 2nd songs!! And we only have about 35-37 school days till our first competition!! YIKES!!! Well, I guess we will see how everything goes this year! It's going to be interesting that's for sure!

My friends.

So I have decided to do a post on my friends. These 5 people are some of the best friends I have...and for sure 5 of my best friends at youth group. Corinne, Darion, Levi, Micah and Drew and I...oh we have had some crazy times!! :) All of us, minus Levi, have been in the same car for a year. Me, Micah and Drew are always in the same car. We all know everything about each other and we are all there for each other no matter what. We talk, laugh, make up jokes, and have fun. We are like siblings, with Drew's mom being all of our "other mom". Micah, the one in red, recently moved. He moved to were I grew up actually. We all miss Micah. But, we will keep in touch and non of us will forget each other.

Discovery 2012, Seek.

So last weekend I went to Discovery. It is a youth retreat with just my youth group. This year's theme was Seek. Being a High school-er, I got to do one of the talks. I was so scared!! And it was in front of my friends to! MY friends said that I went from normal, to pale, to green to read right before my talk. I talked about Labels. I did fine!!! I had so much fun last weekend...I learned how to play ping-pong, went to the beach and got fried, hung out with friends, cried with friends... typical youth retreat

! This year my table was the Holy Hatters. There is a pic of my table and my youth group below. I LOVE MY YOUTH GROUP!!!!!!

Playing for 7,000 people.
