Maria POV.
As we headed outside, I told T.J. good bye, and lined up behind Kristi Nicolae, who I call Blondie. The two of us had been best friends in jr. high, and we got into a small fight. But, lately we had been getting close again.
She turned around and smiled at me. "Hey Maria! How are you?"
I smiled back, "I'm good, just freezing cold. How are you?"
"I'm great! How are you cold? You are wearing tons of clothes!"
"I know, I'm still cold though. I hope that I don't get sick soon. I mean, that would be horrible since we have our marching competition next….."
"To the ready," Richard yelled. Ryn who was standing behind me gently nudged me with her flute as I stopped talking. I gave her a thumbs up sign. Beside me, our school's cheerleaders and poms squad giggled and got into their own lines. "Band, ten-hut!" The girls beside me screamed as the drum line played a beat. Mr. Rodd spoke for a moment, and then had our younger drum major, Daniel, one of my old guy friends call for us to march. The band, and cheerleaders and dancers walked around the school and towards the gate that led to the football field. Small puddles, and even some the size of small lakes were everywhere! We marched through many of them, and avoided as many as we could without anyone noticing. Finally, we were on the track, and after a moment, our feet hit the slick field. Daniel and Richard took their places for directing along with Mr. Rodd as we stood and were called to turn. We played a quick song and then made our way across the track again towards the visitors side of the field to play the opposing team's school song; the hardest one for us to play. After quickly finishing the song, we headed across the field and found our places to perform "The Star Spangled Banner." As we finished, we headed towards the goal post and formed a tunnel, waiting for the team to come out; it could be awhile. I looked across me to Blondie and one of the freshmen flutes, Sierra.
"Guys, be sure to hold you flutes up!" I exclaimed, they nodded. Kiki, a trumpet and dancer, stood next to them with her poms in her hands, and yelled across the band's tunnel to Annie. Suddenly, we heard a siren going off; a tornado siren. We all grew quiet and held our positions. We had to wait for the signal.
Sorry, I know. It's short. I have to go and teach though so I will try to add another chapter when I get home, as well as update my other stories. Hope you like it! If you see any mistakes or anything, please let me know. I don't have time to proofread.
