the last few days
so thursday i did stands again and i also went around with the band....we block and go with the band and march around the field. i got a message from chloe on my cell as i was going around with the band....Ariel took my spot and Chloe was like....ok im guna hurt her for you....i started cracking up.
after we went around, we normally have anounncements. if we have a parade the next day or during the weekend and its thursday, Desean and Alex announce the drum majors for each parade...assistant and lead. they started with Desean yelling the DM's for the stanford thing on friday....assistant: Ariel....Lead: Camille. i was ok...simple in out not much marching parade....more or a stand and play. then they moved to Queen Anne.... my mind went ok more likely ill get this parade... starts out Assistant: Camille .... Lead: Issablle . i pause for a moment and im like.... ok two major parades.....rookie drum major.....aint gunna happen...not possible. no but then...Alex's turn to announce..... ASSISTANT: MARCUS KIDDER LEAD: ARIEL WEAVER. Chloe is so happy that she runs up to me as im standing and tackles me to the ground after im calling in front of everybody. of course we planned it before hand cuz we wanted to...but we didnt know it was guna happen so soon. so yeah, i got my first gig on Saturday July 16 and 12 noon at the John Stanford Soul Festival. and the thing that got me the most was the fact the the soul festival was the longest of the three we had to do that day. which Johnathan lead and Issablle assited for Olympia.
so friday was cool....simple march in..play for people who work for our school board..give a speech get a speech..play one more then leave....see some people...go over to spencers.....eat food....go to moms work..go home....lay around do nothing and get ready for my big debut...for DRUM MAJORING.
do queen anne.....have some short fun....change into my white shirt after we're done and then get ready on the bus for Soul festival. we get there...and my bus is first. it figures we have 5 minutes before we have to be on the parade route and no one is here. i dont have my NORMAL DM shirt and i dont have a freakin baton. so im like ok, we'll make it. finally Alex's bus gets there...he gives me the shirt i need and then i run as fast as i can to my position as im butoon ing my shirt up...and Ariel out of no where appears right behind me and im like...THANK YOU LORD.....and then alex comes a minute later and gives me my baton.
we start when just a few seconds to spare. Ariel looks at me and says "you ready?"...."you nervous?" ....im shaking my ass off of nervousness at parade rest and so freakin.....and then somehow i calm myself down, and im like "yeah...just fine"...sweat dripping....all from runnning to be on time...and then bam....im leading a full band of people.....running up and down the band calling songs...doing twirls and kicking ass.....Ariel Srcrews up and im right there to Screw up with her. it was difficult but the whole time i had pride and was awesome. and the fact that i hit my pride (nuts) about half way thru...druing a song call and i hurt....but i took it....and still goose stepped up and down the band like six or seven times after....which sucked but oh well.
then Olympia...which kicked ass
i also had some fun with chloe, at the fair after the parade. we ate and cherished a moment witht he sunset and the n lake around the capitol building. it was nice...and sealed with a kiss. then she fell asleep on my lap on the drive back...i had to carry her in her car when her mom came by then she took her home as i waited for my mom...but she fell fast asleep....one minutes shes happy and excited..the next.....not budging for anything said on the bus by anyone about anything....just using me to sleep.
today was kent...small short six block parade....fair after....chloe and i ate then went back to the busses. we went home quickly then returned out to the world close to green lake for bucketball....its weird game but ill explain it tomorrow...im too tired....so gnite all...im outs
