Foothill Comp! (At Amador)


So Ross and I got there, and spent quite a while looking for people and wandering around aimlessly. It was sort of interesting. xD But hey, we got there eventually! (After some help from Melanie. =P) Guard didn't get to watch Wind Ensemble perform though; we were busy doing hair and makeup... Ah well.


The actual show went really well. Guard placed! Third in division, yeahhh!!! My personal show wasn't too good though... Dropped once, and skipped 4 counts in the work. The second wouldn't have been too bad except for the fact that I was right at the front of the guard, and instead of just skipping the work, I started the work after it, which entails sticking my rifle straight up in the air. When everyone else's equipment is flat and they're doing a jump-turn... -sighs- Ah well... We still placed! I feel like we might have done better if I didn't mess up though... I need to find out the second place score; if we were off by just a few points, I might shoot myself... (Edit: 1.5 points from second place... -sighs-)

Band didn't place though. =\ But they had an 89.4 overall score, which is still really good. I'm proud of you guys!

Chipotle and Pinkberry after the comp were insanely awesome. Poor Ross was the only bandie (technically), and the only guy. Ah well. I'm hoping he had fun. xD Lots of random conversations and yummy food! I kept laughing at Pinkberry too, like Ellen that one time at YogurtLand. The guard just cracks me up. xP I love you guys!!! ♥

Ross and I had a nice time chasing Laura and Clarie around too. Except Clarie disappeared after I stole her jacket, and she started ignoring me afterward... =\ And Laura did too... So since they wouldn't talk to me, Ross and I just decided to leave (actually, I decided to leave, but...) and waiting outside Lucky's for my mom. Laura and Clarie eventually came back and put a pumpkin ($6!) next to me (I was sitting down) and later came out with M&Ms as Ross and I were leaving. So they threw the M&Ms into the car, and as we drove by them, Ross threw them back out, then it repeated. But we won. xP

So now I'm back home, insanely tired, but happy. Oh, and did I mention that my mom found my phone? Guess where it was? By the printer. Yeah. Wow. How did I not find that? xD But yeah, today was pretty amazing. Yay!

I know, you guys could have kept it, sheesh. Is it that hard to accept the bag of candy? I mean it's coming from erica; she didn't want any candy? -gasp- and i was so close to catching up with you guys... sorta, like 15 feet aways or something like that:p
