Here Goes!
So...i got to the vokie around 6:30ish and the swim team and basketball and cheerleading people were there...wow...cheryl and i chilled for a bit and then chilled with haley too. i didn't talk to her that much last season, it's cool to make new friends. talked to more and more people.

we unloaded the truck and started warming up. that was fun as usual, lol. not as many people here this time. lindsey was somewhere other than there, so that's weird. we got done practice at 11ish after everything. chilled with laura and melody most of the time. met some new people which was neat. and time for lights out!!!! my favorite part of the day!!! ahahahaha.....last year me and trev did the farting thing with our asses in the air, so immature but so great. well me and dave toran were doing it. and will turned and just farted right in dave's face, funniest thing this season lol. lights out is a great time.

woke up saturday and ate some peaches and cream oatmeal, mmmmm. and we basics woohoo!! we did basics forever, ate lunch, and did some more basics. marcel is the man. last camp we were like "riiiiight". but he was so funny, very praising at times, and all at the same time, kicked our asses hard. i loved it. we warmed up and did sectionals until dinner, had a meeting with bob, did more sectionals and then finally ensembled at night. after that i met john, he went to souderton, and the guy who's now in PSU Indoor who knows steph haha. he was in norristown last year!! he had the cornrows hahaha. what a small world that you can see someone, and then they're next to you in the line. well he's auditioning on tenors. he's really cool. i'm so proud of melody!! all day i was wondering who he looked like, and melody was like "greg, he looks like the guy from the SCV snare line" and i was like "YES!!!! WALTER TURNER!!!" haha right on as zach would say. so marielle called me saturday night, and i was going to call her back but zach asked for my battery out of my phone lol, so i gave it up. um...after that it was lights out. slept in the circle again. did some more farter, and will farted in dave's face AGAIN!! wow...i just farted too...crazy, i'm sorry for anyone who's reading this, but everyone has their very immature moments. telly through a mallet in my ass and someone chucked a peppermint candy at me lol. but yea, then i went to sleep.

woke up today and couldn't get out of my bag. meghan came over to wake will up, but i finally got up and got my stuff together. ate some breakfast, and did some visual. this visual was really fun, it wasn't like boring at all. we did stuff line by line and observed each other, did figure 8, and even got to marching and playing!! measure of triplets and measure of drags and direction change for the figure 8, really cool. i should be in good shape to go on the field, cause i think i did well. and then we did an elimination thing. i survived the whole time, woohoo!!! go me, but anyway, then we had sectionals. our new exercise is called inertia. it's all 16th notes with a repeating accent pattern and with different "endings", and it's so easy to just get lost, and i always did on my pad, and i didn't wanna do it on the drum, but zach was like "alright, inertia" and i played it just fine. and i realized that i didn't place space cowboy at ALL on a drum this weekend lol. well we ate lunch, warmed up and went to the show and tell, yay! the guard had a really cool show and tell. it involved chairs, and uh...very "involved" dancing lol. but it was fun to watch. then the pit played, and then percussion, then brass, and finally we ensemble all of barber. i have everything memorized. just that snare part is a little weird. we have backsticking and stick flips at the same time, how hot is that? i love mr. tanzos's writing.

oh yea, my audition!! i walked into the bass room and zach and bob were there. it was chill and i played 4 rudiments and table of time and i thought i did relatively well, i was pretty happy with it. and...that was it!

so i got my battery back from zach at the end of the camp. but first he asked me to come with him, and he opened the door next to the staff room where no one was and it felt like last year when john reilly pulled me out and told me i needed another year. i got so nervous, and then he closed the door and without hesitation said "you're in". and i just couldn't stop smiling after that lol. the most exciting feeling.

they're playing 2001 on TV...good times lol

so 2 others made the snare line, good players too. me and shareef (sp?) like each other's drum pads, we're getting along well, cool guy. and the other i don't even think i talked to at all lol.

so laura took me home, and i chilled. went to alex's tonight for her christmas family/friend get together thing which is always fun. jordan took more pictures and i talked to jen who i haven't seen in a while. cindy and lauren lew were there. becca, danielle and alex obviously lol. rosanne, doreen, vikki, eric, diane and others. it was fun. then it started snowing!! yay for black ice lol.

so that's about it. a crazy, ass-kicking fun weekend. i'm so glad i finally achieved my goal with making snare. i might make a list of funny things from the weekend. until next time, PEACE OUT
