THE band story...You have to read it ...its soooo totally true
Theres nothing like band camp...the burning asphalt of the schools parking lot containing uncountable drill sets brings back millions of memories from past season. It's august and you are sun burnt, sore, and tired from you exhausting summer, which is sadly coming to a close. Your horn weighs a thousand pounds, or at least you swear it does... your shoulders ache from the day before and the day before that... your skin might as well just melt off from the back to backsun burns you've been getting. Your shoes, that are still wet from the the day before when it rained unstoppably, are soaking through your socks as you trudge across that big old parking lot, or if youre lucky for once, the football field. Your worn out coordinate sheet looks like a 500-year-old sea scroll discovered in the Atlantic. the heat is your enemy, and the once-in-awhile cool breeze feels like an angle sent from above. when night falls, and your day of hard work is over, you're relieved yet saddened that we didnt get every thing done that we were supposed to. The morning sun, or alarm clock...some people are different, wakes you up the next morning. You dont know how to feel, relieved or tired, because of course...BAND CAMP ISN'T OVER YET!!! It's now time to do everything that you've done for the past couple days all over again, you set out for the tiring 12 hour day ahead of you with your best friends...your water jug and good old spf 3,000 (you know you'll need it)...and you comtinue on to the goal...FINISHING AS MUCH OF THE SHOW AS POSSIBLE!!! It's now midseason and you have been marching the same drill and playing the same music for what seems like an eternity. The same instructors have been yelling and glaring at the same people and the same orders have been yelled from the scaffolding above. The same speeches have been said, the same counts have been drilled into your memory. The same idiotic peopledrive by beeping and yelling the same days of the week that you've been practicing on since the beginning of time. You still have the same view of the back of your fellow comrades head in front of you in the same drill set that everyone marched over and over fifty million times. Sometimes you wished you hadnt survived band camp so you wouldnt have to go through this cycle, but or course- you never ever mean it. It's the week before the last competition, you have rocked at some this season-you know to the point where the director wanted to trow bombs at you and then there are some where you wish you could just forget. You've been humming your show in math class and marching down the hallway almost the whole beginning of your new school year. Anticipation of the contest looms in the air as you work towards the event which consiste\s of everything youve worked for thes whole season. you dont mind the repetition now... you are used to it...you are conditioned to go back and do it again and again and again....and you enjoy it, you laugh, you joke and sometimes you get in trouble...you focus again and everything makes sense. It's weird to think that everything you've worked for is coming down to the biggest performance of the season...it'll all be over in the next eleven minutes or so, then you'll never march with those same beloved seniors in your band again. some seniors get excited, but depressed that it is their last perfomance with...*here it comes over the loud speaker*... "THE (your high school name goes here) MARCHING (mascott goes here)"...you wait anxiously fror the drum majors to count off, are you ready??? It doesnt matter, now there's no turning back... Its the morning after the last competition... you rocked the house!... but now there is no tomorrow... you are finished...you season is now complete, all you have left to remember that performance are those hunk-a-junk trophies in the band room that the drummers will probably break next week...yet your stories are endless. you remember the times at rest stops where you and you crazy friends ran a muck, or the time when you had your eye on that one guy or girl. Your laughs and pains from the season which is now in the past, is only a figment of your imagination. Yet you always hang on to your memories, and especially of your greatest accomplishment... the pride in finishing another great season. FIN I know it was long..but oh-so true...i hope you enjoyed! | | Saturday, April 9th, 2005 | 5:33 pm
