Whidbey Island stuff
So Saturday was the parade. I had about 22 kids show up which is not as many as I had expected but it ended up being ok. I had one trombone but lots of trumpets and one of my trumpet players started playing trombone parts so that really helped. I'm really sore even today from marching - I never remember being sore but I guess I was marching much more often and I was 16, not 24, its hard on the legs! Oh well, its good for me. I had some parents come up and talk to me which was great, they are all really supportive. It is my belief that the guy is not coming back but of course that doesnt mean anything because we havent been told yet. They said I'm there through Friday and hopefully before that they'll let me know if i'm staying or ntot!
Wednesday is the concert. I'm already worried about it, well I should say I was already worried on Friday. I think its going to be fine but I'm stressed about it anyway. 6 groups that I've had not even 3 weeks with! Yeah pretty scary, but it'll happen and it'll be fine and hopefully just the fact that we are doing the concert will make everyone happy. Post concert we are just going to relax, listen to the concert and watch movies. Even if I'm staying until the end of the year doing much of anything after the concert is no good, everyone is going to be tired so it'll be nice to have some days of just relaxing. Then I'll need to figure out what to do with them for two weeks if I am still there. As fun as it would be, I dont think I can just watch movies with them for two weeks, I dont think that would go over too well.
I'm really happy this is a three day weekend. I came home on Saturday after the parade and yesterday just relaxed. Last night we watched the Producers which I love - no one else here had seen it! And in the afternoon I hung out with Stephanie, she's going to come up to the Island on Thursday on her day off so we can hang out which will be fun. This morning my parents, Jeffrey and I are going out to breakfast and then I need to finish the concert program and make sure that my lessons are ready for tomorrow. After that, dinner at Barker's (which I had thought about not going to because I'm having dinner with D'Amours but Carrie and Luke will be there!) Then off D'Amours for dinner and over to the Island.
Wish me luck this week, send good vibes my way!
