Hello everybody! I'm Grace, and I'm Maddieand we're the captains of the navy lightning marching band color guard. We're both seniors and we currently have a guard of nine girls. Lately though, we've felt that we needed to vent to something so we decided to make a little diary to get our feelings out. We'll start at band camp and move on throughout the entire band season.
Prologue
July 8th 2013 8 o'clock.
Today was my last first day of band camp... And nobody was here. 'What the heck?' I thought looking around the empty band room. There were a few stragglers but absolutely no guard people. 'Wait a minute...' I looked over at the clock hanging on the far wall.7:30. I face palmed. Of courseIget here a half an hour earlier than call time. Oh well, might as well wait. I had gotten upat 6:45 for this and sped through my routines thinking I would be late even though I lived about two minutes away from the school. Omg finally some people are coming in. Two guard returners walked in. Their names were Brittani and Emily. I swear those two were inseparable. Emily was known for being really sweet and kind while Brittani was more sarcastic and pessimistic, and then the rest if the people came including my good friend Selena who I had convinced to join again after she had done it my sophomore year. We all exchanged greeting and introductions. Ok7:45. Where are Maddie and Amanda? They're not usually this late. Oh wait a second 'here they come.' I thought looking at of the open door to the band room. Let the games begin...
Ok first last day of band camp. I got all of my stuff, water bottle, sunscreen, gloves, phone now I just have to get out of the house and pick up Amanda and Jonathan. I got to Amanda's house she wasn't ready she still needed to put on her shoes even though it's7:25 I called her yesterday and told her I would be there around now. Ugh come on Amanda I want to get there earlier than last year. Ok she's ready and it's7:30oh boy I hope Jonathan is ready. Oh good he is let's go.
