So today, I woke up at 8:30 to go clean the guard closet. =P No, actually, I woke up to go paint the floor mat. It was really fun; Ellen L, Colton, Ashlee, Laura, and I went to the Commons to paint the Winterguard mat with Kyle, and meanwhile, we were testing out moves for the Winterguard people. Seeing as I was the smallest, I got to try out all of the lift/partner moves, and fail miserably at all of them. XD Then Ashlee and Colton got to start painting the mat while Laura, Ellen, and I went to clear out the guard closet. Basically, Ellen folded all of the flag silks, Laura planned out the guard closet organization thing, and I just helped her. Then we sort of raided the food storage thing and relieved them of two Sprites and a Coke... and some other things. XD We went back to the Commons, and then Ashlee/Colton wanted to see the cleaned guard closet, so we ended up taking a mini field trip. Then we were like, "OMG, we should sign our name on the wall!" So we did that, and we are proud to say that the '08 CHS Guard has officially vandalized school property. XD (And not very subtly either seeing as all of our names are written proudly upon the wall. =P) By the way, if any of the '08 CHS Colorguard wants to sign their name, grab a Sharpie and scribble it on the lavender wall in the guard closet (you'll see it, it's the one with tons of names and "Cal High '08 Guard" written on it in red Sharpie). Then we finished painting the mat, and we had this mini chat thing about life/guard, in which Ellen had MILLIONS of questions. XD We also found out why Jay isn't coaching WG, but it's a secret. =P Then I found out that Kyle is from Fremont, Kelly is from Hayward, Jessie is from Union City, and Jay is from Tracy. o.o
Then Ellen and I went to volunteer for Interact; we had to pick up the "Trick-or-Treating" for cans bags. Some people put a TON of food out; it was kind of scary. o.o That was pretty boring, but whatever.
Then we went to the guard party at Melanie's! We ate pizza, pasta, nachos, etc. And Colton brought COOKIES!!! It was AWESOME! Then everyone watched the Fairfield and Championship Comps, and looked at the pictures that Mrs. Bottini took. I just have one thing to say: Melanie's mom has very... unique... picture taking skills. She had a few pictures of people with their hair whipping them in the face, one of Kimmi's butt crack, and one of our ending pose in the opener, in which almost everyone's mouth is open. XD Then everyone started rewatching all of the comps, so Colton and I got bored and went outside to ride around in the tricycle. XD Then we were on the swings, and we did "Spider," which was sort of weird, and Colton hung upside down on the pull-up bar thingy. Then we stole one of Melanie's pomegranates and started eating the seeds. XD Afterwards, we went inside again and watched pictures from last year's guard.
Then everyone went to Cal again to help Kyle baby powder the mat and fold it up. =) We all had to squish into cars though, Lia had like 6 people including herself in her car, so I was half siting on Colton. XD It was really funny because only 5 people went this morning, then Kyle comes (he told us to bring people), and there's basically the whole guard waiting for him. So Ashlee and I were like, "Hey Kyle, how'd we do?" XD So we folded up the mat, took some pictures (Lia took some of Colton and me on top of the rolled up wrestling mat things), and went to the guard room. Then people started leaving. I still keep thinking we have practice tomorrow... I never thought I'd miss guard so much, seeing as I really didn't want to go to rehearsal half the time... =(
I still have next year though!!! =D Go CHS Guard!!! Work it! <3
