this week........crazyness. the football game was cool and it was a really long ride there n back, but i had fun. i cleared things up with whiggum finally during the bus ride. we won, which was cool, and also incredibly predictable. while there, i found out o'brien is going out with my ex. haha, poor kid. he has no idea what hes in for, but i wont tell him ne thing.....he'll figure it out for him self. hahahah. sorry, neways. ya know that feeling where youre like kinda asleep but not, then you go back to sleep, and then you do it 4 times, and by the 4th time you get all worried that it is really late, so you check the clock to make sure you didn't sleep more than you should have? ya probably haven't had that feeling, but i did today, and when i checked the clock, it was 8 am. thats soo sad. i usually don't it untill 1 in the afternoon. so i went back to sleep, which was kinda hard after opening my eyes to check the time. i got up a little after 12, just as my mom got home and afterwards we went n got food. was good. i had to go to band after that, and just then i realized that i didnt tell sara abou the competition. oops. we were planning to go out tonite too. i feel bad about forgetting to tell her. so i get to band, and most of us knew we were gonna do bad tonite, but many had high hopes and somehow thought magically all the problems would fix themselves. idiots. the only thing we expected to win was best percussion, due to our really good drum line, but it was a total let down to not win that, or ne thing else for that matter. we sucked, and everyone there knew it. the bands there were soo much better than us. but besides the actual competition, the best part of the night was when we were leaving to go get on the busses. for some reason they made us walk back in a single file line like prisoners. so while the line stopped momentairly (sp), we were all conversating, and fat ass mr houchins comes up to us and asks for us to stop talking, in his incredibly condescending tone. he was being an asshole the whole night as well as just then, so as he was walking away i said "how bout you fuckign stop eating" i didnt say it very loud, but he heard. the line started moving again just as he turned around to see who it was, so he goes to the guys standing behind me and says i hope i didnt hear what i think i just did, then walks away. i was like flipping, and i almost shit my pants. it was really funny tho. we had sucha good laugh over that. that guy likes me too, so i didnt want him to be all mad at me n shit. lol, well ne ways, after discussions with matt about the most pertinant pointless things, lol, i got back to be picked up by the evil ones. we stopped at wendys, where my dad confused the hatian drive through guy while asking about the where-abouts of dave thomas. how incredibly embarassing that was. in the car, my parents harassed me about my cell phone charges. they're blaming me for them, yet my dad used all the minutes. we have both phones on the same 500 minute plan, so my dad used more than the fucking 500 minutes, and all my minutes just happened to be after he used them up, so the hour and a half i racked up cost the most money. that is complete bull shit. they're blaming it all on me, even though my dad used up the minutes. i'll be fucking damned if they make me pay those charges. afterwards, i got home and found out that verhanika, sam, and sara were in a car accident. i was gonna call sara, but it was much too late. sam assured me that they were all in good condition. im glad no one was hurt. im kinda pissed tho that i hafta work tomorrow, and cant visit. damn. well that post was waaaaay too long. sorry if you read it....with the longness, and my lack of vocabulary and spelling erorrs(lol). im out

omg are they okay?? thats terrible!

ehh.. i was really upset last night after the competition... i had never realized how much I really loved that band until all of this started happening. Its terrible.. I feel as an officer, as a musician, as an upper classman I should be able to do something to help and yet we still fail. I mean yeah, deep down I was secretly hoping that it would all pull together and we'd at least make 3rd... my hopes were shattered after I saw the other 3 bands... actually I think in the parking lot when we were warming up I knew our fate when I was listening to Flanigan practice or watching Stoneman Douglas practice marching and their General Effect... I just hope we can pull off a superior at festival. Next year.. next year is going to be better... regardless if i'm an officer or not i refuse to let this band sink to this level ever again. thats it. I'm glad you expected more of the band though, We all should have.

Guys? Those bands are competition bands. I don't think we could have ever really had any chance against them, even with Mr. Saint. Going to the competition seemed kind of pointless, and I just hope people work harder now and don't take a "oh, we suck, I don't care attitude". We didn't suck last night, I thought we actually did damn well. We just put the 3rd friggin song on the field last week, those other bands have probably had all of their songs ready since before school even began.

Heh..I can't believe you said that to Mr. Houchins, I think you got real lucky when he thought it was someone else. After all, isn't he going to be grading your IB exam? o.0

I know. I think that Atlantic should become a serious competition band... one that has their show done during band camp sooo from the time when school starts till the competition its all on enhancing the show and improving the little things. Those bands put a hell of a lot of time into their shows and it definately showed last night. With a little effort we can be just as good as them so keep your heads up high!

Jess.. you're absolutely right. We did do a LOT better last night. The 3rd song just hasn't been polished yet though and it showed. Now we know what we need to do for festival.... stil got 2 weeks!

yeah. AJ, you are damn lucky... and Chris and Jenn Yates? crazy... I thought she had a boyfriend or something... o well. good for him i guess :0)

Oy Vivs, I love Band, but not that much. I like being a football marching band. Personally, I think that those people in the competition bands must be completely out of their minds.
