Okay here goes the next chapter.

Chapter Three "Times Up"

The crews all quickly get off the buses to unload the equipment. I being apart of the floor crew helped unloaded the target and weights. The band already had the instruments unloaded and were warming up in there concert arch. We had the job of trying to get the target into the entrance without having to go down stairs. After about ten minutes. We found a way and met up are pit to wait for the rest of the band.

The chaperone in charge are crew kept making sure we knew what to do. Since we were in doors we needed only half the waits and not as many people carrying them out there. I still ended up having to drag the waits out to the field. They finally moved all the equipment into the dome and I could hear the snare tap all the from the bands entrance. We picked up the metal bricks and Robert got the cart with the target on it. I was stuck working with Damian and Vincent again.

The time started and we were given the okay to set up. It took longer to get the target setup than was expected. Ms. P was giving the signal to get off the field and the Chaperones helping us didn't understand. They thought she wanted the target to be moved over. So they moved the target. Damian, Vincent and I quickly laid down the bricks and ran off the field catching up with the others.

I got to watch the show from the side line. I could tell the target was off and everyone was panicking, because of it. There were a lot of forms that were off and the straight lines weren't the best. The show finally ended just as it begun. We had to rush the band off the target so we could get it off the field without being penalized for it. We dragged the carpet out of the stadium and got ready to fold it but they called us for pictures. The pictures to ten minutes but everyone went back to change instead of folding up the target.

On the buses all I could hear was anger and I didn't want to put up with it. But I got on the bus to get out of my uniform anyway. "Did you know the target was off by five yards?" Someone was yelling Vincent, Damian and I had to face the music although we didn't actually have anything to do with how far off the target was. James was trying to encourage the others saying it wasn't that bad. Some people calmed down and others still went on.

I quickly changed into some street close and got off the bus. Instead of going back to fold the target. I found a few of m friends and followed them into the stadium. We stayed together till we actually got into the stadium. Then we spilt apart and went to get some food. I got some nachos and a drink and went to find someone to sit with. I found Tina and her mom. So I went and sat with them. "I heard you were in a car accident or your brother was. Somewhere of that sort." Ms Carlisle said. "No my brother wasn't. I was in a car accident last night after the game. Krista was driving me home and we had a minor accident."
"Was that it?" Tina asked "Someone told me it was your brother." "Sorry, it wasn't I don't think he even knows about it." I said. " I'm just glad your okay then" Her mom replied.

We sat and watched the other bands marching show. I started laughing when I remembered the year before. You could tell which band preformed first because we were all sleeping through the other bands. What really stirred up some people was Churchill's show. There colorguard did the same thing are did. They used just poles without flags too. This was something new. The colorguard members started getting angry when they saw there assistant coach down on the floor watching Churchill. "He works for Churchill too." I heard someone complain. It seemed like we weren't the only ones trying new things.

That showed passed and some people did calm down. Then the announcement came for all drum majors to go to there meeting. Everyone started getting excited. Maybe we do have a chance was on the mind of everyone.

:-) You'll have to wait to next chapter to find out how we do. This keep getting a little more exciting right.
