Band Camp - Over

Due to my inability to access BZPower until just now, I was unable to conclude the band camp series... So, I shall do so now, summarizing Friday, Saturday, and today (Sunday was boring tongue.gif). And I wanted to see what's wrong with the blogs... Nothin' seems wrong to me, but apparently there is for others.

 

Friday

Okay, Friday was miserable. The whole day, a large storm was on the weather radar, so we were always hesitant to go outside, most notably my band director, who constantly went into his office to check the online radar. We started a half hour late - this was intentional, though - and immediately had to put on our uniforms to get ready for pictures. In a non-air conditioned room, with open doors, permitting the humidity in, it was most uncomfortable. But when we got to taking the pictures, I sort of just forgot about it. Included was a picture of the whole band, class pictures, section pictures, and invidual pictures. Some of us trumpet players wanted to take the section picture with the trumpet on our head, but our section leader wouldn't let us. I didn't get mad at her for that, though, because we were just messin' around. Anywho, trumpets were last, of course... And by some stroke of luck, I was dead last for getting my individual picture (My band director doesn't count. tongue.gif). So I was in my uniform the longest... Yeah, waiting in line is when I remembered how hot it was. But, things from there weren't too bad. We practiced inside, because then the rain came, but that was it - just rain, no lightning or thunder. It was just really heavy, otherwise we would've gone outside, like we did several times last year. In the afternoon, we ventured outside, with that ominous storm still on the radar, to review drill for the show we were to perform for our parents in just a few hours. Many of us forgot all of the drill to the fourth song, and the first we had only gone over once... But, that didn't matter, because we had to go inside due to some lightning on the horizon. In the end, we just played the music in the auditorium... It wasn't too fun. Not in the least for me. I had this massive migraine - at least, I think it was one - and simply could not stop sweating. Needless to say, as soon as we could leave, I was gone.

 

That night, we had a picnic. I pretty much just played baseball for the couple hours we were there. Much fun was had.

 

Saturday

I visited my aunt's house for a lil' party/picnic while my uncle (and my aunt and two cousins) was visiting from Virginia. Mmm... That baked alaska was pretty good.

 

Today

I just returned from Wal*Mart. I really wanted Lesovikk, but I knew I wouldn't be able to purchase him... Luckily, I didn't get crushed by that, for he wasn't even there. There weren't even spots for the "warriors." In fact, the unusually small section for LEGO (Last time I visited that place, it covered the whole aisle) was mostly barren, with only a few larger sets and some Barraki. But on the next aisle over, on the end, were a ton of Mahri. I'd say it was as big as the stand at Comic-Con, so there were no worries in getting one of them. I just finished building Hewkii. Hahli I built on the way home. I'll share my opinion on those two later, though...
