Band Festival @ Taravella High School 2010

Today was a big day for me. Besides the spanish quiz and algebra test I took, today was very important, band festival day. Time to play the 3 pieces the whole band had been practicing since the beginning of the year! At exactly 3:15 I went to the band room to put away some of my stuff. Then I went to the cafeteria to eat pizza, coca-cola and chips so we would'nt be starving when we get to the performance site. I quickly got dressed in my tuxedo and rushed to get my instruments and music. I boarded the bus and sat with Ashley Gibson (7th grader, very close friend of mine) We talked, and fooled around and listened to music the whole time. Lots of fun. When we reacher Taravella High School in Coral Springs, it was pretty much exactly what I expected. An old beaten down school, with quite a history. Turns the out the triangle piece was left in one of the buses so Briani and I had to back in and find it. Thank god she found it ahaha. When we got back to campus we listened to the other band play. After they were done we quickly went in the cafeteria to warm up. When we finally were done preparing the stage, we got to playing our 3 pieces ( Colonel Bogey, Hymnsong Of Philip Bliss and American Riversongs) We were excellent! Afterwards we went to a distinct room with a band director, we played our alternative march for him as well as two other site reading pieces. He gave us all important tips. When it was time to leave we went back to the cafe to pack up and we were on our way home. Ashley and I listened to music, talked and fooled around again. When I got to Pines, I walked out of the bus quickly (I ran back to retrieve Ash's flute which she left on the bus) then I changed and left. I was hungry so we stopped by KFC then got home. I took a LONG shower. Today was a day I will never forget (:
