The end of summer as I know it.

Well, Band camp HAS started. The thing is, this year... The percussion section is gonna kick major ass. We totally have a person that will actually be working with us and helping us! I mean, it won't be any of that "figure it out yourself" nonsense! Now, this is serious business! We also have new cadences that pretty much ROCK! Like, rather than people complaining about how horrible our cadence is and how much we suck at it. We actually have people ASKING us to play it! INSANE, I know.. I mean, just ask anybody in band. We aren't all band geeks. In fact, I don't think any of us are. Maybe Nate, but who's saying that's a bad thing? Huh?

So about this band camp thing. It's pretty much all day FUN! By fun, I mean... Passive torture. They don't really pull the knives and stretching machines on us. Just the drill charts and the constant heat and marching. =D You know, fun stuff. I musn't complain about band camp, though. It really is a good time. Once you get over the constant sweat and discomfort. Like we have this thing called, "forced fun" in which we.. er... have fun... but it's forced. Kinda defeats the purpose. But hey, if the shoe fits.... (definetely don't sell it!) Today all I did was play DDR, because.. Dang, that's a really good game. I realize some people may think it is a dumb game, but they're wrong all wrong wrong wrong!

Yeah, so band camp starts at 8 in the morning, meaning I have to get up (at the latest) 7:30. It is now about 1 in the morning. I just have a bad feeling about marching and sleeping... with a bass drum. These things weigh about 40 pounds. I looked it up once when I was bored... So yeah. If I fell asleep I'd pretty much fall over and break something, most likely the drum. Did I say that not only do they weight about 40 pounds.... They cost more than I can afford (haven't gotten around to lookin' that one up yet!) Okay, so I looked it up. About 500 friggin' dollars. Yeah, No way I could pay for that. So I'm gonna go to bed now.

G'night!
