~The Halloween Parade~

I walked into the band room and everyone was all in costume. Now it was time to figure out what everyone was. I was like a devil gypsy thing... with a bright orange short haired wig, when I have longish light brown hair.

(A/N Just so ya know I'm throwing in some more characters in here. I think you guys will be alright without any real description of them)

"I'm not exactly sure what you are, but I like that wig" Bethany (freshman flute player, and that day, a pirate)

"Yeah Sheila, I'm digging that wig, what are you?" asked Margie.

"I really don't know" I laughed.

I had to laugh at some people and their costumes. Jack and Pat were both Super Mario. They argued about whose costume was better…

"I challenge you to a duel" said Jack.

He takes off one of his whiter gloves and smacks Pat (he also smacked Kristy and Shamu, for the heck of it).

Matt whips off his glove and slaps Jack so hard he nearly falls over. "I ACCEPT" said Matt. That was the end of that.

Mike is playing that one snake charmer song on his clarinet…be cause he was a snake charmer dude. Bob is yelling at people for calling him a pirate, because he isn't "just a pirate". He stands up tall and at attention "CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW OF THE BLACK PEARL…GET IT RIGHT YOU FOOLS"

Soon we're all ready and we get load the buses. I end up sitting with Cheri (Punk skater dude), Shamu (Zombie Lawyer), Pat, Bob, Todd (A Cheerleader) and Jack.

Todd strokes his legs all the way there. "Dudes….this is reeeally uncomfortable…" He was wearing tights obviously.

"Cheri! I'm flat. I mean look at me, I'm flat" he said staring at his chest.

"Ok, NOW you're scaring me." She said.

We arrive at the parade and we stand around warming up with various songs in a very informal way.

"Let's play Flying Cadets!" Kristy shouted to me.

"Ok!"

So we started with just me and her, then Star joins in. A trumpet player joins in, and I think we a got a sax too….So now we're standing in a little circle of freshman playing a song from last year, that all the other people didn't know. Then we started playing a Gary Owen, American Irish Fantasy, and Lucky Day March, in the order of how we all knew them. That was the song we played in the New York St. Patrick's Day parade, and it was the song we win FIRST PLACE with.

Soon we were lined up. I was between Star, and Shamu. The marching and playing itself went along pretty well. Since it wasn't a competition, and it was for fun, the saxophone line felt the need to start a little dance as they marched. They were all doing it so it didn't look bad, but instead it was quite funny.

When we finished marching, we stood around a picnic area, where free pop corn and lemonade were being distributed. During this time I took off my bright orange wig. Star took it and put it over her own gorgeous Egyptian black hair. Then it was "villas-ed"  by Mike, then Rachel(freshman mallet player), and others. I'm not sure how many people wore my wig that day, but let's just say….that wig wasn't going back on MY head J

I go up to Bob…

"You know what Bob…you're not a very good Captain Jack Sparrow" I said.

"I'm not?" He asked.

"Well….Captain Jack Sparrow is mad hot!! And you're…uh…not?" I said. But

really Bob is very hot indeed…

"Hey! I wouldn't say that to someone who's all cranky from marching, and who carries hard metal mallets around with him" He simply with a smirk on his face. I grabbed his mallets, but he wouldn't let go, so we wrestled around with the mallets for a bit.

I had a bit of orange on my hands from when I sprayed my some of my hair orange, and Fred goes up to me… "Hey…you have orange on your hands!"

"Yes….yes I do." I says. "Want some??"

I rub my hand on his hair. "Hey!! If I have orange in my hair…." He trails off. Mike had noticed the orange on my hands before and knew that it wasn't coming off of my hands. "Look, it doesn't come off" he said. He held out his hand so I could try to rub the orange off of my hand onto his. No results.

Soon we were loaded back onto the buses, and headed back to the school. Then came the singing…yes. The singing. Pat, Jack, and Bob began singing and it was so freaking funny…

"This is the song that never ends!" All

That never ends.' Said very simply by Jack.

"Yes it goes on and on my friends!" All

'Yes my friends' Jack

"Some people starting singing it not knowing what it was!" All.

'Oh they started sing, but they didn't know what it was' Jack

"And they'll go on singing it forever just because" all.

'OH just because' Jack

"Then came the beat-boxing….scurryness.

END of this one.
