Ahhhhh! Much with the business! I've been spening a lot of time at band lately, but, I guess it's paying off because we had our first competition last night and totally kicked ass. We came in first, and swept the caption awards, winning all of them (best marching, best drum majors, best percussion, best color guard) except for best music, and we only lost that by .1 of a point! And, best drum major? We got best overall, in both our division and the division below us.

ETA: Speaking of drum majors. Hahah. It was also homecoming this weekend. And our drum major is also homecoming king. I don't know why people always assume that band is this nerdy thing. Yeah, a lot of nerdy people do it (*coughmecough*) but there are also a lot of popular/preppy/good-looking in general people in it, at least at my school. YAY BAND!! :)

hollaback to nadia_skye--it was good to see you. Better luck next time, yeah? :(

Oh, and Lost on wednesday? OMG. SO GOOD. AHHHHHH. That's about all I've got, heh.

Oooh, you were at the same competition I was at, though, but since you guys are so much bigger we were already gone by the time you played. I would have liked to stay to watch some of the other bands (you guys, and I have friends in mattawan, too, and Jenison is in our flight in the other circuit so we have to compete against them and lose every time omg and I would have liked to watch.) but the band was leaving, and so my ride was leaving, and yeah, what can you do?

Good job on the drum major, and the six points! :) Oooh, I forgot to say something about our drum major. Hahah. lemme go update the post.

Yeah, we played at 7:30 I believe, I know a bunch of bands had already gone by the time we played. We were second in our class though, so we got to watch like all of class A, and AA, it was neato. OMG Jenison won everything but either one, or two things, I can't remember what, and then they won best overall. It was sad. Lol yes'm, can't be left behind. Our bus driver threatened to drive off and leave people behind... because they were slow or whatever.

Thanks!

Definitely! [your edit] is so true. A majority of the really popular people at our school are in marching band. A lot of the not popular, but not nerdy ones are in it too. We're not all nerds (of course I still am but... *shrug*) woot.

Yeah, Jenison is really good. I think they've been state champs something like three times in the last five years. Wah.

I know! There's such a stereotype about band=nerdy, but while that's true for some people, it's not all encompassing at all.
