Insert whore-related, sleep deprivation-induced joke here.
Marching band turned out good. I hated the bus ride, but then since that's probably the last time I'll ever actually ride a school bus for anything school related, s'okay. Also, we went shopping. I got a new purse. That I didn't need. BUT IT'S PRETTY SO WHATEVER.
Oh, and then there's the fact we took SECOND out of FIVE BANDS IN OUR DIVISION, FUCK YEAH. And they were actually apparently good bands. Mrs. Kasel went and named them off at practice the other day and every one she said had a "very good marching band tradition" and we were all, "Well, SHITFUCK." But we did really good. Even Mrs. Vetsch said so, and she's usually brutally honest but this time she was like, "YEAH YOU GUYS WERE THE BEST THAT'S THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN YOU IF YOU DON'T PLACE I'LL GO ON A HOMICIDAL RAMPAGE." Not in so many words, but you get the idea.
Even then, we still weren't expecting to place very high. But when they announced the fifth-place band, and it wasn't us, we started getting exciting.
And when they announced the fourth and third place bands, we started to scream. Seriously. They'd announce another band and we'd be like, "FUUUUCCKKK YEEAAAAH WE ROCK" and everyone would be looking at us like, "WTF NOT YOU POONS." But yes. We did end up taking second, though we were only about one point away from getting first. Which is kind of maddening but what're you going to do? I'll live. It's a nice way to finish off the actual season. Even though we still have the hometown parade left. Which is hell, blargh. BUT IT'S THE LAST TIME I'LL HAVE TO DO IT HAHA.
