Day Four at Band Camp

I couldn't believe that our week at band camp was almost over! Only two more nights! And we'd be heading home!! I didn't think of any of that, of course, until long after we'd gone home. That night I slept soundly. It happened that from the first day, me being the very first one up, on Wednesday I was one of the last people up! I groggily woke up once again to another day at band camp. After rummaging through my suitcase, I picked out a pair of shorts and a shirt, and slipped them on.

Just as I'd gotten the shirt on, Jessica reminded me that today was "Freaky" day and you were supposed to act/dress freakily. So I decided to wear the shirt that my senior had given me, as did most of the people in my room. All still half asleep, we got dressed and moseyed on down (actually I should say up because it was more up hill from our cabin! =P) to kimmel hall. We all went in, when it was our turn, and got our food. After a few bites we all perked up. It was the usual some people went up and did a little something for a signature (most people did what they had to for the seniors during lunch or dinner) , but other than that it was mostly uneventful. Except for the few jokes and humor that occurred while we ate our breakfast.

Then once again we went back to our cabins, got changed, got our instruments, music, and set books, and headed to the field. We marched in the HOT weather for what seemed like ages again! Luckily they gave us these neck tings that were like gel and were placed in a cooler full of ice so that they felt cold. We put them around our necks while we marched and they kept us cool while we were out in the hot sun. We were also being sprayed with water like they always did to keep us cool. (after all at least two people had sun poisoning , and Mackenzie almost passed out from the sun. She's not supposed to be in intense heat for long periods of time, and she plays one of the smaller bass drums!) After resetting here and there a million times, and having to listen to the dreaded Dr. Beat, we finally were able to go and have our lunch break. Once again, though, we had our announcements about skit meetings announced. The freshmen were to meet in the "practice room" for our "skit meeting" after we put our instruments away. We were going to get our skit put together.

Each year at band camp, on the last night that we're there, we invite the parents down and they get to see our show that we'd worked on the whole week. After the show they'd go into the auditorium and each class would put on a skit for them. Well the day before this day, Wednesday, the freshmen had a skit meeting to talk about the skit. Well all we basically did was yell at each other, and get a few ideas down. After a while we finally voted on an idea….we called it the "Dream"….but it wasn't very pretty….and that day was a total drag! Everyone was mad at everyone else, and Chelsea, our freshmen representative, felt like she didn't belong in her position. She was really down….so we finally got the skit kind of figured out, and our next meeting…today/ Wednesday…we were just meeting to figure out who was going to be who in the skit….I hope that's not to confusing….so on with the story!

The meeting was held at the lake, because the day before everyone wanted to got swimming, so this gave us a chance to swim and have the meeting. It was a bit confusing trying to get everyone out of the water, but finally most of us were in a group planning out who was who. Those who weren't there were given a part chosen by Chelsea, and they were stuck with it even if they didn't want it. I was a narrator, and so was Stacie. Then we split the people up into freshmen and seniors, and then had someone be Mr. Etly, Doug, and Mr. Bherman. So after another annoying meeting of arguing, and finally getting everything planned, we went to lunch. The rest of the day was same as usual.

During our last time on the field (for that day) we marched intensely. Trying to get our sets memorized. After all the next day our parents were coming down to see us perform! So we crammed everything in in that one day. It sure was intense! And we rested about a million times! To me it felt like hell!!! Under my breath or in my head I'd always say "DAM! How much longer till we get done!" or "Shit I missed my spot!" And also while doing that I was trying to memorize my music. After all our flutes have the reputation of not using liars (I don't know if that's how u spell it, but liars are just like little portable stands that you can put our music in so you don't have to memorize it) , so I was trying desperately to memorize both my sets and my music. It was kind of hellish, but I managed to memorize them! THANK GOD!!! Then finally the sun set, and the light was diminished. So we had to call it quits for that day. We gathered around Mr. B for the daily "you did great!" chat that we had. And we also announced what that nights activity was. The dance!

At our cabin, it was quite a sight. We had people going in and out of the shower one after another, and we were all scurrying around in our rooms and getting dressed. I wore my khaki skirt and my green tank top, but most of the others wore Capri's or jeans. But I didn't care. I let Mackenzie do my hair, since she asked if she could. And we were all going around doing each other's hair or complimenting each other's clothes, and the usual girl stuff. Then After we were all ready, we all walked up to the auditorium were the dance was being held. There weren't very many people there when we got there, but we didn't care. They were playing music, so we got ourselves into a little group and starting shaking our booty's to the music. They had punch, cookies, and other food to eat on tables in the back. I went from dancing to the music in our groups, to sitting in the chairs talking to my friends, and going into the percussion room to just hang with my other friends.

The freshmen boys weren't so enthusiastic, and tended to just sit and watch. We, the freshmen girls, tried to get them up and dance. We'd pull them out and surround them and start dancing. They'd just stand there for a few seconds then squeeze through us and go sit back down. We didn't give up that easily, but finally we knew it was no use trying and left them alone. During slow dances I tended to just sit down and watch. There weren't really any guys I wanted to slow dance with, but I still though it'd be cool if a guy asked me to! Of course no guys did, but that didn't bother me!! I still had a blast with my friends!

Finally the dance ended. As usual it seemed like the dance had just gotten started and then POOF! It was over! So we went around and started to clean up the trash and junk that had been scattered about. There wasn't much so it didn't take to long. Then getting our shoes, because the girls were getting tired of wearing their shoes and dancing the way we were (not that it was bad or any thing!! *angel halo pops up*) so we put our shoes back on and headed back to the cabin.

It was pretty late, about 11 or so, and we were supposed to be in our cabins. But we, as in the people in my cabin, decided to play on the playground for a bit. I remember that Heather, Me, Jessica, and Tina were swinging on the swings. And me and Heather were looking up at the sky which was full of stars! It was beautiful!! Then Mrs. Vollmer came, our cabin leader, and we had to go inside and get ready for bed. We all obeyed and went inside, took showers, got into our pj's and went into our rooms. No one could believe that our time at band camp was almost over. Only one more day!!! The whole time we were at camp, it seemed as if we were all roommates in college or renting an apartment together! But we did know that band was almost over, and we were going to make our last night, the next night, the best one!!! So we all got into bed, some people said their prayers, turned out the lights. And started to fight, as usual about something. Then we finally got everyone to shut up, and we went to bed.

A/N wow only one more day of band camp left!!! I still remember some things about band camp, it was so much fun! Yet a lot of hard work too! I can't wait till next year! Plz r&r! thankies!! Hope you like my story to!! And this is all actual stuff that happened at band camp!! I'll get chapter 7 up ASAP!!
