Chapter 1
"Welcome to Band Camp"
One day in late August, around 150 students made their way to the highschool band room. Medina was a small rown with nothing to lean on but their marching band. Their sports teams were hopeless and the only thing left was the hope the band could complete the never-been-done four-peat at state finals. The drum major gave a blast on his whistle and herded the group into the auditorium. Meanwhile Clark and Lizzy were shooting glances at eachother across the band room. Lizzy sat with her friend Nichole Fuller and Clark with his usual crew of Lucas Houseman, Mark Grimes, Matt Toussiant, and Andrew Incho. Mr. Ballard started his welcome speech with,"Welcome and welcome back to Medina's famous band camp. Rookies good luck and seniors I hope you know some prayers for this bunch of knotheads." Then he went into the rules and such. Not much. Lizzy was too busy making sure she played all the notes right that day she didn't notice Clark's fixed stare. At least not until that night at dinner. They all crowded over to the local McDonalds where all the kids went. Kate took full advantage of her seniority to make sure her and the rest of the drumline got to eat first. In line Clark and Lizzy swapped their usual smiles and "hi's before they ran back to their groups of friends. The rest of the week at bandcamp was fairly uneventful until that Thursday. Nichole and Lizzy were sick off growing obese on McDonalds and decided to sneak across the highway to Burger King. Inside they met up with the last person they wanted to see. Josh Kinney was the most low-life disgusting dumb-beat druggie in the whole middle school. After they hastily ate they returned only to be stalked by Josh. But that didn't last long. Mr. Ballard chased him off drumstick in one hand and a look that said "your gonna die kid." Friday was the last day of bandcamp. Included in they days activities were a performance for the parents, a water balloon fight, a visit from the town firetruck (which turned into a wet t-shirt contest) and the band party. Kate attended being a junior but Lizzy and Clark, being only rookie seventh graders didn't go due to lack of nerves and popularity. Band camp was over just as soon as it had started. But the tension was still there. In one week the band their first competition at the school of their long-time enemies. The East Irondequoit (Eastridge) Lancer Marching Band
