listening to: nothing.

today was the last 8 hour practice the band will have for the rest of the year. its a bittersweet thing. even though i hate the hot sun and tiring marching, i bond a lot with people during the practices. and they're so rewarding afterwards.

we finally finished the whole show!!!! we did our first whole run through without stopping. i jumped up and down when we finally finished it. :D the show is awesome. i love it how we start in a circle, and at the end we end in a circle. how cool is that? today during practice, all of us were dying because it was really really hot. so mr.kaldy jumped down from the podium thingy he was standing on, and said, 'im going to turn on the sprinklers for you guys' and so the whole band sprinted to the grass field and we all ran around in the sprinklers for a few minutes. when i heard mr.kaldy say that, i jumped up from behind the go kart, and i screamed, 'YES!' and i grabbed julia's hand and sprinted to the field. totally opposite of how i was before all dead and tired. and then back to marching. i really really like the last set, when we all condense intot he circle. ahaha, listen to me rant on and aon about this. x)and then after the we finished, he turned back on the sprinklers and we all ran around again. lol.

anyway, today the flutes surprised jen with a cake. we got her strawberry shortcake. i know, sounds a lot like a jen jen, right? its so easy to pull the wool over her eyes, i thought we were so obvious... -____- and vanessa was so sweet and gave jen her present. awwww!

it was a good day. im ready to fall asleep and stay that way for a few days though. :)
