JoeKatt: *doing his random disco/lap dance/break dance thing* WOO! Break it
down now!
DarrkKatt: *whispering to TigerissLightwater* Thank God he doesn't have a
pole.
*a pole suddenly appears out of nowhere*
TigerissLightwater: Er, what's that?
DarrkKatt: A pole *immediately covers mouth with hands* Oh, sh-
JoeKatt: *flips up hat and sees pole* OOOOO!! WOOOOOOO! *runs over to the
pole and starts doing an incredibly bad pole dance* Yeah baby!
TigerissLightwater & DarrkKatt: *torn between horror and laughter* Ummm.
Note: This actually happened. Yep. It did. One day we were waiting outside for school to begin; as usual, JoeKatt was doing his hat dance. I randomly said "look a pole" because one of my other friends was leaning against it. JoeKatt ran over and tried to do a "sexy" pole dance.THE HORROR!
Disclaimer: Wished we own them, but we don't. Random Lawyer Guy: *comes back from hell* Why'd you send me to hell?! I'll sue you!!! TigerissLightwater: Uhh. DarrkKatt: How'd you come back? *imitates Dr. Evil* You don't belong here, because they're always after your lucky charms. Come, Mr. Bigesworth! Push the button. *hairless cat run over and pushes a button. A chair the lawyer was sitting in flips over and he goes back to hell* MMMWWAAAAAAAAHHHHHAAAAHHAHHAAHHAAAA!
The insanity continues: Band Camp, Day 1, Part 1
Next day:
"Hey, Hiei," said DarrkKatt slowly during the drive to band camp. "You freaked out waaaaay too early yesterday. You haven't even met the rest of the band yet."
"Yep, yep." Tig added, "If yins think we're crazy separately, wait till you see us with the band."
"Do I want to?" Hiei muttered under his breath. "Hey," he said louder. "Where are the other people you were with yesterday?"
"Yes," said Touya (HE SPEAKS!!). "Where'd they go? Better question: Where's Koenma? He wasn't at the house last night."
"Well," Tig responded. "Koenma's with Sarah, mainly because none of us wanted him to live with us."
"That makes alotta sense," said Jin. "He's a bit o' a brat, ain't he?"
"Yeah, which reminds me." said DarrkKatt, "Chu got kicked out of this wonderful experience because he couldn't give up his sake for one day. He's gone. Sayonara Bye-Bye!! (1)"
"Ah." Yusuke added wisely, "Was wondering why there was no scent of sake in the air this morning."
O.o. Kurama was a little out of it. Must have been the lack of sleep. ______________________________________________________________________
"Here we are." Said Tig as they reached the school.
"Um. Why is this school off a busy highway?" asked Kurama, looking at the cars speeding by. (2)
"Well, so no stupid students can ditch. If they do, they get hit by a car." (3) Tig answered simply.
"So don't escape." DarrkKatt got out of the car and started walking down a hill. "Come on, yins meet the director now. He'll show yins the music and what instruments yins'll be playing, because we really don't know."
At that moment, Koenma appeared. He was wearing cargo shorts, a tee shirt, and what looked like an entire drum set. Sarah appeared behind him, wearing similar things.
"It looks like Koenma got the quad." DarrkKatt said, barely containing her laughter.
"That's a quad?" asked Yusuke. "There are five drums." (4)
"Looks heavy." Botan stated the obvious, "Can you walk Koenma?"
"Barely, plu, I don't know how to play this thing."
"I teach ya how," Sarah said cheerfully. "It ain't bad. Oh, yeah. Yins are expected in the office of the big guy. Wants to talk to you. See yins on the field."
Sarah and Koenma walked off (well, Sarah walked, Koenma waddled) to the auditorium for drum line practice. After DarrkKatt stopped laughing at Koenma (the waddle was too much), they all proceeded down the hill. In a few short seconds, they were at an open door that had a sign on it that said "Welcome to Highlander band camp. Schedule for day 1: 8-9 basics, 9- 1pm drill". (5)
"This is the music room" Tig said as she led them inside. The yyh gang stopped at the door, they're jaws dropping at what they saw inside.
It was a decent sized room with chairs and music stands everywhere. There was a door at the other end that led to a hallway, and a ramp that led up to another set of doors. But it wasn't the size of the room that shocked the yyh gang. There were students everywhere; jumping off chairs, screaming, dancing, running into walls, leaning out windows. The room was packed with them, but they didn't seem to notice the gang. That is, until.
"OI! Everyone!" shouted DarrkKatt and Tig. Everyone in the room stopped to look at them. The room was so quiet you could hear a cricket. "These are the new people! Show them a good time here at band!"
"OKAY!" chorused everyone in the room.
"Welcome to Baldwin High," DarrkKatt said calmly, walking away from the group. "The big guy's in the room right there," she pointed to an office that had a poster on the door. "Go see him before you join us." She and Tig disappeared into the crowd.
Cautiously, the gang approached the door. As they got closer, they were able to read the poster an the door. It said (and it really does!!!!) "Band is not only an option. It's the only thing."
"Should we knock?" asked Kurama to no one in particular.
However, at that second, the door flew open and nailed Kurama, Yusuke, Jin and Touya. Rubbing their heads (the ones that got hit, at least) the gang looked up, and they saw why this guy was called "the big guy".
He was big, really big, height and width wise. As soon as he saw them, his face broke into a huge grin.
"Hi, I'm McKeever! Welcome to Highlander Marching Band!" He said. Meanwhile, the gang was speechless. "You must be the exchange students! Now, since we'll be starting soon, I'll just give you your instruments, music, and anything else I think you'll need, and then you'll just head out to south lot for basics!!" He reached into the office and pulled out a piece of paper. He looked at it carefully, then said, "Right! Follow me."
McKeever led them back out in the band room, which was no deserted ("Creepy," said Keiko) and to another door they had missed before. It was in the middle of the wall, and the door was open. Following him inside, the gang, yet again, stopped dead in their tracks.
The room was a medium sized storage area for instruments. There were flutes, clarinets, string basses, cellos, tubas, French horns, and just about any other string or wind instrument imaginable. Stepping over the empty cases that were strewn over the floor, McKeever walked to the far end of the room.
"Right!" he said again, "I have the instruments you are to play. We have two mellos. Will Hiei and Kurama please raise their hands?" Hiei and Kurama raised their hands and immediately had two cases thrown at them. "Next: Yukina, flute," Yukina walked up and took the small instrumnt case form him. "Kieko, clarinet," He tosed the clarinet case at her, which she just managed to catch. "Kuronue, you have the alto sax." He slid the sax case across the floor to Kuronue. "Let's see, Touya?" Touya raised hi hand. "Here, this is your tuba." McKeever pulled a large case out from under one of the shelves. "This is yours. Alright, next people. Botan and Shizuru, please follow me." He led Botan and Shizuru out of the storage room and into a room right beside it. Inside, there were flags and costumes. "Botan, these are your flags." He gave her about five different flags. "Shizuru, you have flags as well, but you also have a saber and a snake." Along with the flags, Shizuru got a plastic coated metal saber and a giant stuffed snake in a garbage bag. Going back to the band room, McKeever looked at the two without instruments; Jin and Yusuke.
"you two are the last ones." McKeever said cheerfully. "Follow me." Jin and Yusuke looked at each other and shrugged. They followed McKeever up the ramp that was on the far side of the band room. There were multiple drums of all sizes lining the walls in this room. "Here, Yusuke you have the largest bass drum. Don't break it, or Lauri will have your head." Yusuke was handed a gigantic drum with a shoulder harness. Putting it on, he guessed it weighed about 50 pounds or more. "Jin, you'll be in the pit, but for home games I want you to be a bag piper, alright?"
Jin nodded slowly, but then asked, "Can I be in another section? I really don't know how to play drums."
McKeever thought about this, and then said, "Alright Jin. You can play-"
Alright people! The REVIEW NAZIS are asking for a favor! What should Jin play outside of home games? Should he: 1. Stay in the pit so he can't cause havoc 2. Join the drum line and be with Yusuke and Koenma 3. Be in a completely different section that is equally crazy as any other one in the whole band (aka, any brass section other than mellophones)
(1) Guess where that's from? ;) (2) It really is off a highway (3) No one is stupid enough at our school to get hit by a car. (4) Our quads have five drums. Most have four (5) What follows is an accurate description of our band room.
Random Comment from: JOEKATT! JoeKatt: Today, I bought a SOBE green tea. Inside the cap, it said "TOGA!TOGA!TOGA!" Drink SOBE green tea. It is good. Thank You. *bows and leaves* Er. The REVIEW NAZIS want reviews, especially for our little dilemma. HURRY UP AND REVIEW PEOPLE!!!!!
