Ok, this is the story of when the Island and all its dedicated members go to Disney Land with the Band. As told by Vaughn. Unfortunately due to our gay band teacher last year, several people have dropped out of band. Keeth, Katrina, and Marshal. So they won't be joining us on this trip. Oh and due to safety reasons Billy Bob won't be visiting…that's also partly because he got sent to AEP for trying to rape an undisclosed girl. But we'll be having a few more unofficial Island members along. They are unofficial because there all in the 9th-12th grade, and you may not understand some of this story, if at any time you get confused by who different people are you may need to read Britishmangachick's story "The Island Goes to Band Camp". Enjoy :-P
The day….Monday, Sept. 15th, the time….2:15 P.M., the place…..the Dallas High School Band Hall.
Mr. Durham was giving another one of his boring "what you did wrong at the game, Friday…" speeches. I had only heard about 3 of them in all, seeing as how I'm an 8th grader, a newbie. But I had heard enough to know them by heart. As Nicky, Mr. Durham's nickname, was closing off and everybody was getting ready to grab there instrument to go out and march for 3 hours he stopped us by saying…
"Ok band. Today we're not going to have Marching practice…" But before Mr. Durham could explain why the class interrupted with an enormous…. "WOO HOO!"
"Ok….calm down band. We're taking the day off from Marching practice to…." , but before he could finish that, the leader of the tuba section, Ryan, called… "1…2…3…go….", and the tuba section played their signature victory theme. (Well its not that signature, because they kind of took the victory theme from the Final Fantasy game series and added a few twists and called it there own. It's still awesome though.)
"Tubas' I told you no more victory theme when we're not playing in the stands at a football game."
"Sure thing, General Popinfresh." That was the band directors other nick name, the assistant band directors nick name is Captain Mc'Muffin. Don't ask me how they came up with them because I don't know.
"Agh... stop calling me that."
"Sorry."
Well while that was going on Logan, the head percussionist was trying to tell me how to play "Let It Whip" on the quads, quad toms: a type of drum with 4 different heads, "Ok. Vaughn you just repeat this… brudump brudump da da da da dum bo chick ala…" And as usual I had to tell him to slow it down a lot and go step by step. Hey I may be slow to learn some stuff but once I learn it, it sticks.
"…as I was saying were taking of because we need to fit the uniforms…" A huge
"ARGG." Could be heard from our band. "….and we need to talk about the annual trip to Florida and…" Before he could finish the band yelled… "DISNEY LAND!"
"Yes band were going to Disney Land again. Ok what were going to need is…."
And so it went on that the island listened as Mr. Durham called of his list of everything we'd need for the trip to Disney Land, and then we proceeded to fitting our uniforms the only really interesting thing that happened was when Susan, a guy, Put on his jacket over his head with the jacket still zipped up. Since it was zipped up he couldn't get his head through and was stuck in the jacket…so what does he do… that's right he runs around the band hall totally blind to everything around him while yelling… "IT'S EATING ME! IT'S EATING ME! HELP!"…until he ran into the wall head long and nearly gave himself a concussion.
AFTERWORDS:"Hey Josie can u believe we're finally getting to go somewhere with the band?"
"No. But we are aren't we."
"Absolutely nothing can ruin this trip."
"Don't say that Vaughn! You'll jinx it!"
"Relax, Billy Bob's not going to come remember…AEP?"
"Oh ya."
"Ya, besides even if he did come there's no way he could ruin our trip to Disney Land like he did Band Camp and solo and ensemble."
"HOWDY YALL!"
"Ouch, Liz that's my ear."
"WHAT YALL A'DOIN?"
"Liz, enough with the yelling ok. Band practice nearly killed my ears already."
"Sorry yall I just is so happy about goin' to the Disney Land."
"Umm Liz what's with the hick accent, I thought you were an "all Britain" person?"
"Well I wus until I learned that…wait a menute now what was it I learent a menute ago?" "OHH Ya, I learnt that if yousa' talk weth a heack' accent then yousa' would leve longa'."
"Umm about that, you see that was a fake news ad I made on PhotoShop and sent to you….umm sorry."
"WHAT! Then I don't have to talk like a complete idiot!"
"Umm ya."
"Vaughn….I'm gonna kill you."
"Umm Liz I said sorry….now Lizzie you know what happened last time you went all crazy eyed and started attacking people….you do don't you? That's it Liz I'm calling the guys in the white coats with the big needles."
Well how do you like it so far? You can let me know about things I need to change or improve and I'm always open to good story plots. Please R&R.
