Luna looked at the building in front of her. She was actually here at Amberheart. The campus was even better than she could ever picture it. Starting to walk trough the campus Luna couldn't help but stare in awe. The buildings stood out with their cream color walls. Some were decorated with ivy growing along the sides. Flowers decorated the ground of most of the building making Luna sad that they would be covered by snow come winter. Looking at her suitcase and her alto saxophone case she figured her best course of action was to first find the dorm rooms and out her suitcase away. Quietly she walked around looking for the nearest map.

"Hi welcome to Amberheart!" A female said with a large smile interrupting Luna's search. She had long blond hair tied up in a ponytail and wore an Ambertheart T-shirt and jean shorts. "We're so glad you joined our marching band. My name is Betty Nelson I'm a senior here and if you have any questions feel free to ask me."

"Hi Betty, my name is Luna." Luna introduced her and Betty walked over closer. "I do have a question. Where are the dorms?"

"Are you a transfer or a freshman?" Betty brought up her clipboard and lifted a the top sheet of paper.

"I'm a freshman." Luna gripped her suitcase a bit.

Betty flipped through a few papers and dragged her fingers down the paper. "Are you Luna Loud?"

"Yes." Luna said firmly.

"Okay looks like your rooming in Green Hall." Betty said with a large smile before pausing. "Were you at orientation?"

"No." Luna answered slightly embarrassed but her family couldn't afford three plane tickets in two months.

"That alright." Betty did not sound negative for a single second. "You just head to Green Hall which is in the back with the other dormitories. You can tell due to the big letters that say Green Hall. Your dorm advisory will be there and they'll have your key."

"Thanks alot." Luna said before she headed off waving goodbye.

Once Luna reached the dormitories she stared at it. It looked like an apartment building. Just like Betty said the words Green Hall stood out. It helped that the walls were a light gray color, making the words pop. Slowly she walked in and stood in an empty hall. She walked over to the main desk hoping that her RA was simply in the bathroom.

"Whoa sorry about that." The guy said walking out of a room. "Just had to use the bathroom. It's rare you see freshman you weren't at orientation and this late at night."

Luna laughed awkwardly. "Well I am from Michigan."

"Oh the hand part?" The RA asked excitingly.

"No the other part." Luna said quietly.

"Eh whatever." The RA simply shrugged and opened something on his computer. "Can I have your name? My name is Craig."

"It's Luna Loud."

"Luna Loud." Craig said as he typed. "For once an easy name to spell. Okay you're room is 213 and your roommate is Melody Daniels. Who checked in a while ago."

Craig handed Luna her room key. "Thanks Dude."

"No problem." Craig leaned back on his chair. "If lose it come see me or if you have questions."

Luna walked upstairs and to her dorm room. She didn't see many people outside of their rooms and she only saw girls. Finding her room she put her key in and walked in. As she excepted Melody's side was all decorated while her's was bare. She was glad her roommate was very creative but wasn't able to admire it because she yawned. Checking the time see saw it was 8:30. Walking over to her bed she laid down and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning Luna woke up to her alarm. A bit annoyed she picked the phone and saw it was 8:30 in the morning and she almost fell out of bed. She only had about half another until she had to be at the music building. In a panic she grabbed her instrument, sneakers and a granola bar and ran out. Running as fast as she could she made it with about five minutes to spare. Still eating her granola bar she walked in and saw the other band members had moved to the one lecture hall.

"Ha someone's almost late." Someone said at her before another person slapped him on the head. Luna awkwardly walked to the back and sat down and put her sax case next to her.

"Welcome to the 2018-2019 band camp!" Some said after a while. Luna looked up and saw a man with many people next to him. The man had a white streak of hair which made him stand out. "If you don't know I am Mr. Taylor and I am the head band director. I am excited for another year of shows. Our days for the next two weeks will go like this, from nine to 3 we will have marching practice which includes drills. From 6 to 9 we have music rehearsal. In between then you will get a dinner break. The school schedule will be announced later."

"Do we get lunch?" The boy who called out Luna yelled out.

"You will have a hour lunch break at 12. Lunch will be provided to you but you'll have to get dinner yourself. You are allowed to go anywhere but you have to be back by six." Mr. Taylor answered not deterred by interruptions. "Now who's ready to start the season?"

The whole lecture hall bursted into the cheers before they headed to the field. It looked how Luna excepted the stadium was huge and the Amberheart State logo sat in the center. As she walked on the field Luna learned it was turf unlike the field back home in Royal Woods. Looking around she saw that everyone but heard seemed to be talking to someone except her. She looked around for Betty but saw her talking to who looked like other seniors and Craig was nowhere to be seen.

"Wow this sure does make me miss home." Luna looked down a bit as a whistle blew.

"Hello everyone." Some said on what looked like a podium. "My name is Paisley I am the assistant band director."

"Hi Paisley I missed you!" An upperclassmen said excitingly.

"Hi Clark." Paisley answer before gesturing to the women next to her. "This is Annie she is our head color guard instructor."

"Hi everyone!" Annie said waving to the crowd.

"Annie and I along with your drum majors Dustin and Hallie," the two people waved as their names were called, "will be running what we call block. Here you will learn how to march. Now get to position."

"No freshmen on the end!" An upperclassmen yelled.

"Thank you Damon." Dustin said before walking in front of the band. He smiled widely as Hallie started to walk in front of the band members taking about five steps. The people in the front lines moved to where Hallie placed them. Luna took the cue and went behind the person in front of her.

"Alright." Paisley said as she started to walk through the students. "Before we begin to practice marching we must review or if you're new to marching band attention. Now attention is how you will stand for the entire show and all parades we do. Hallie will now demonstrate attention. When you're ready Dustin you may say the call."

"Band ten hut." Dustin said as he clapped to a specif speed.

"Hut." Hallie said moving her left foot and straightening herself up.

"Now can someone tell me what foot Hallie moved when she went to attention?" Paisley asked walking up to the drum major. A few people raised their hands and Paisley pointed to someone.

"Her left." The person said.

"That is correct." Paisley gave a thumbs up while Annie clapped with a smile. "In marching band when do everything with our left foot. We moved to attention with are left foot, we starting marking time with out left foot, and we step off with our left foot."

"As you can also see." Annie added gesturing to Hallie. "Hallie is perfectly straight and doesn't move at all. Not even a single fidget. That is how attention should be."

"Now let's do it." Paisley turned to Dustin. "Whenever your ready."

"Band ten hut!" Dustin called out doing the clap once more.

"Hut!" The band including Luna said moving their left foot together. Luna stayed as perfectly straight and still as she could. Paisley walked through the crowd and called out people for their mistakes. The then repeated this act multiple times, each time standing at attention for a longer period of time.

"Okay now that we mentioned attention we can now start marking time." Paisley said now standing in front. "Now when you mark time make sure your toes never leave the ground and bend you knees. Also be sure to count loudly as you mark time. It will be good practice for when he start drill after lunch. First we will go to attention then we will mark time."

"When do we get a break?" What appeared to be a freshman asked.

"After some mark time practice." Paisley answered. "Today will be the longest block since we will learn all the basics, As we progress block will get shorter."

"Are you ready?" Hallie asked standing in front of the group. The band gave an uniform yes. "Band ten hut! Mark time march."

The band started counting at the speed Hallie clapped at. After some time Luna got the hang of it. Unfortunately it got harder when they started marching. It was pretty hard for Luna to keep in time. Thankfully she looked at her upperclassmen for help. Playing her guitar had really helped with her peripheral vision. Whenever they got breaks Luna saved her water that she saved. There was also a large water container that a few people who took water from them.

"Alright everyone." Paisley announced standing on the podium. "It's twelve o'clock and it's lunchtime. In the dining hall nearby, there are sandwiches and drinks for everyone please enjoy and be back for one."

Luna ran to the dining hall. All the marching had made her really hungry. She made a mental note to pack a snack for tomorrow. Once there she got herself a sandwich, some chips, and a lemonade. Walking to where everyone was sitting she everyone sitting with people. She spotted Betty happily sitting with some friends at a full table. She looked until she took notice notice of an empty and walked over without a second thought.
