Sunday morning, Deirdre woke up at 6:30 in the morning. She needed to be at the
high school for 8:00 to do some warm-ups and marching and maneuvering (M and
M's) things before they left for Lackawanna Stadium.
Before getting on the buses, they had a 20 minute break for eating and
relaxing. Some people went to Burger King or McDonald's to get a quick bite of
breakfast.
After everyone was back, they boarded the buses and were off to ACC's.
Harry and Deirdre sat together on the bus they were assigned to. Harry helped
with getting the pit set up and out on the field.
"You nervous?" Harry asked her.
"A little. It's common to be nervous though. If we're not nervous, that
shows that you're not mentally ready to perform today."
"Well, that's god to know, because I'm nervous as well." Harry smiled and
looked down at the floor. Harry looked out the window and took in the buildings
that went by. Deirdre leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. They cuddled in
the seat until they got to the stadium.
At the stadium, everyone got off and made a bathroom stop. They then
came back, changed, and warmed up in their assigned spot until it was time for
them to go onto the field and perform.
After a long practice, it was finally time for the Berwick Area Senior
High School Marching Ensemble to perform. The band marched up the road to get to
the field entrance and waited for the band playing prior to them to finish.
The band before them finished and they went onto the field. They waited
until their band name was called to go onto the field.
"Drum majors, is your band ready?" the announcer called over the intercom
right after the judges signaled that they were ready.
The drum majors turned to face the booth between the two rows of seating
and did their salute.
"Berwick Area Senior High School Marching Ensemble, you may take the
field in competition," the announcer said.
The band performed their music with all of the energy they had in them
and more. The crowd was very into the music. The crowd cheered every time the
band did some difficult formation or someone had a solo somewhere.
The band ended their show and went off of the field. There was a smile
on every performer's face. Mr. Wasser was even smiling as he came off the field
with the band.
After everyone was back at the buses, they changed (don't worry, band
people wear clothes underneath their uniforms.). They then went to Wegman's to
get something to eat and walk around the store to waste some time.
Everyone finished their shopping and went back to the buses. Harry and
Deirdre changed into their Hogwarts uniforms at this time.
When they arrived back at the stadium, Harry and Deirdre got up and ran
off the bus as quick as they could. They then went to the band truck to get
Deirdre's trumpet. They went to where the Hogwarts band was rehearsing after
that.
The Berwick Band went into the stadium and took their seats in the upper
level of the stadium like they always did. They sat there and watched all the
bands until it was time for the awards ceremony.
