Whaaaaat?

Ahhh noooo! So the band trip to Lafayette is canceled for this weekend. How depressing. Our director, who is new and still learning how we do things, canceled our bus and hotel reservations yesterday before practice when he heard that Lafayette wouldn't give us time on the field during halftime. Which is pretty rude of them in the first place, but we could still play in stands and be loud and obnoxious, which we are good at doing. And plus, the band overnight is the highlight of marching season. We told this to Eric (the director) yesterday at practice that we still wanted to go and he said ok and that he understood. However, what he failed to tell us was that he canceled our reservations before practice so we could get our money back without asking any of us. I guess he was hoping he could make a few quick calls last night and get the reservations back, but no. Everyone makes mistakes, but I am a bit concerned that he couldn't tell us at practice that he had already cancelled our reservations and was willing to just keep it his little secret. Not much we can do now though. I was actually looking forward to a long bus ride of the shadiness that is band. And I must admit I was hoping just a little bit that we would watch Jesus Christ Superstar, because that would have been hilarious. There is also the fact that Julie, Amy, Kim, and I would be sharing a room which equals more hilarity. And then there was that whole playing at the football game thing. Oh well, what can you do. At least we'll be going to American in January instead for basketball.

So, instead on Friday night we will be playing at the hockey game which will be cool since they ended up going to the NCAA tournament last year and posting a major upset. Also, the hockey team likes to have us there a lot as well, which is cool. We are appreciated! Maybe if I'm lucky I'll get hit with a puck again and get another souvenir. Huzzah.
