I do NOT own anything dealing with Harry Potter in this story. Deirdre Grover,
who is a twin to Hermione Granger, belongs to both me and Robbie M. (one of the
many Sirius Blacks). We are using that name in another story we are writing and
we hope to finish it soon. The Atlantic Coast Championships (ACC's) is an actual
competition between competing school bands across the Atlantic Coast. It
includes bands from the following states: Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey,
Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, New York and Ohio. That's pretty much what u
need to know to understand this story. Please Enjoy!! (Sorry to all those who
aren't band people, or who just don't like band people, because I just happen to
love band. I have one more year of school to go after this story is written. I
know I'll miss band as well, so just let me have this story)
"Deirdre, you're playing with the Berwick Area Senior High School
Marching ensemble as well?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes I am, Professor," Deirdre answered. "I'm sure I'll be up to it."
"Very well then. Of to your spot now for one last run through before the
practice is over with." Dumbledore then turned and walked up the platform steps
to get ready to conduct the Hogwarts band.
The marching band included all sixth and seventh year students that
played instruments and were in color guard (The flag waving people).
After the band played their show, Deirdre got ready for the next
practice. Since both practices were at the football field in Berwick, she didn't
need to go anywhere else. She sat in the stands in the stadium until the next
practice started. She ate a hoagie while she waited.
Just as Deirdre was finishing her hoagie, Mr. Wasser called practice to
order. Mr. Wasser reminded Deirdre of Hagrid. He was build more towards the
build of Mr. Dursley, but had more of a personality of Hagrid. She thought of
him as Hagrid to make conversations with him easier.
Deirdre ran onto the field with her trumpet, swallowing the last bite of
her hoagie. She fell in at the relaxed stance (puree-dressed)
"This is our last practice before ACC's, guys. are you ready?" Mr.
Wasser asked when everyone was at their spots.
A/N: ACCs is Atlantic Coast Championships.
There were a few solemn responses.
"That doesn't sound like an ACC's band. Are you ready?" Mr. Wasser
called louder.
"Yes!" everyone shouted excitedly back.
"Detail tent hut!" he called.
"Hut!" everyone screamed as they went to attention.
"Take it away, drum majors," he said, walking off of the field.
They played through their whole performance (show) with loads of energy.
There were finally getting excited about playing at ACC's.
The last song ended and they went back to do set changes (picture
transitions) to work out things to make it look and sound as perfect as
possible.
After the changes were made, they did one more run through. They put all
the energy into the performance that they could.
"Alright. Everyone in here," Mr. Wasser said, walking not that far onto
the field. Everyone circled around him. "Very good practice tonight everyone.
This is the last practice for the season at this point in time as I said before,
but that's as far as I know. Tomorrow night's football game is the last run
through we have before Sunday. We are placed 19, the highest we ever came in or
went out at. We can jump four more spots and make it into the next level of
championships, which is states. It all comes down to you guys. Don't let
yourselves down by not playing your best. Try your hardest, but also have fun.
Kick butt and have the time of your life."
"Good riddance!" Chad Rothrock called out. Everyone laughed, including
Mr. Wasser.
"Very funny, Mr. Green Day," Mr. Wasser said. Everyone laughed again.
"Any other staff have anything else to say?" None of them did. "You guys are
dismissed then. I need to see Deirdre Grover before she leaves, wherever you are
please." He then walked over to the stands.
Deirdre walked over to the stands and stood next to him. "Yes, Mr.
Wasser?"
I just wanted to be clear on this. You are playing with the other band
your in, correct?"
Yes, I am." She stared into his eyes nervously.
"Alright, I just wanted to make sure. That's it."
"See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow. Be here at 5:30." He then went to talk to staff
members. Deirdre left to go back to the house she was staying at with Harry,
Hermione, and the Weasleys.
