Win a Date With….
Most far out ideas are either really stupid or utterly brilliant. If the idea in question happens to be one of the utterly brilliant ones, then usually it isn't carried out. A classic case of easier said than done, right?
However, there are those few utterly brilliant ideas that are carried through. The consequences? Either earth shattering discovers, mind blowing revelations, incredible success, or, in this case, a Color Guard getting money out of it.
What could be better than that?
(Especially with all of the budget cuts and funding problems in the county schools, which their high school was a part of.)
Anyway, what was such an utterly brilliant idea that this particular guard had?
Well, it came about one day during 3rd period Guard class…
"We need more money. It's crazy how much funding is being cut this year. And they say next year will be worse," Ronnie, a junior, said as she leaned against her guard locker in the guard room.
Due to the large amount of girls interested in guard that year, for winterguard, the guard had been split into two groups: the "A" guard and the "B" guard. The "A" guard consisted of all returning members plus one freshmen filling in the final available spot. The "B" guard pretty much consisted of all the new members except for the four or so girls who had been in guard in middle school. At the moment, the "B" guard was practicing in the band room, so the "A" guard members had a free day of sorts.
"Yeah, that would be great," Becca, the "A" guard captain, said nodding in agreement. "It would be nice to get better flags before WGI to add to our GE. One problem though: How would be raise it?"
"It's too cold for carwashes…" Emma, a sophomore, said.
"Yeah, and bakesales are definitely out. I hate bakesales," Ronnie added.
"It would be so cool if we could just sell something that we wouldn't have to buy in the first place," Emma continued.
"Yeah, like Becca!" Margo, an energetic sophomore, all but shouted.
" What? Are you calling me a slut?" Becca said sending a mock glare.
" No! It's not what you guys think. I was thinking that it would be cool if we raffled off a couple of hot, well-known band/guard seniors. It would be like a "Win a Date With" kind of thing," Margo said before sighing and adding, " But who am I kidding? No one would agree to be one of the people raffled off. Plus, it's not likely we could get permission..." She said this as she looked at everyone's face. They all looked dumbstruck.
"Margo, you're brilliant!" Ronnie said, her blues eyes lighting up.
"Yeah, it's perfect!" said Becca, also getting excited. "I'm willing to do it and I know someone will volunteer. There are 270 people in band after all."
"We'll need some guys to reach the female part of school and at least another girl," Emma said.
"Don't worry about the guys or the permission. I'll take care of it," Ronnie said getting up, already heading toward the door.
"This is going to be great!"
A/N: ya, I know it's short and definitely not my best writing. What can I say? I randomly wrote this while putting off doing my homework. Anyway, let me know what you think.
