Luna walked in the dining hall after more outside rehearsal. She took notice of her friends and Aria gave her a wave. She smiled before looking around some more. She she caught sight of Dimitri sitting with a few members of the pit. He was leaning against one of the other members in some sort of joke. Luna hoped she wasn't interupting anything as she walked over.
"Um excuse me Dimitri." She said as she walked over to the pit table.
"Oh hey Luna." Dimitri said sitting up. "I was just telling the pit crew here about the time my sister dragged me to a Single Way concert. Want to take a seat?"
"I'd like to dude but I have to go to my friends. I just wanted to tell you that I accept your offer to be your successor."
"Really that's amazing!" Dimitri looked at her excitingly. "We can start once band camp is over."
"That'd be great but just so you know dude I play a mean ax." Luna said as she started walking away.
"I don't doubt one bit." Dimitri said before Luna took off to join her friends.
"You know I thought you were going to sit with the pit guys for a second." Melody said as Luna sat down.
"Well the bass player Dimitri asked me to take over after he graduates." Luna explained as she started eating. "I just wanted to tell him I said yes."
"But the pit doesn't march." Aria pointed out a bit confused.
"I know but I've been feeling homesick and I figured playing bass could kind of help with that feeling." Luna hoped she didn't sound to confusing with the thing.
"I think it's cool." Isaac adjusted his sleeve and seemed to be annoyed he kept falling. "I know many people at Denson who switched instruments in their stint in marching band."
"Okay Isaac how many plaid shirts do you have?" Alec asked causing everyone to look at him. "You've worn a different one everyday."
"I just really like them." Isaac explained sheepishly and looked away.
"Hey if you have a problem with what Isaac wears. I'm killing your character off." Aria said agrily.
"Don't kill me. Kill the Justin character." Alec said annoyed and the other three looked at them confused.
"Aria wants to be a writer." Melody explained to the other three. "She already has an idea for a book series and Alec convinced her to write him in. Now she uses it as an excuse whenever he annoys her."
"For the last time this isn't one of those stupid self-inserts. I hate those stories." Aria pouted annoyed.
"Okay how about he talked about puppies instead." Ethan said before Alec could respond. "Who doesn't like puppies."
"I love puppies!" Aria said happily and Luna sighed as the rest of lunch went on as normal.
After dinner the band started to walk to the music building. They were all pretty tired from the day and even though they still had music. At least during music rehearsal they could sit down. Before they could walk into the band room Paisley stopped everyone.
"Alright freshmen and new members head down to the basement." Paisley announced to everyone who was there. "It's uniform time."
Immediately the freshman ran down and Luna couldn't help but feel excited. She had seem many different marching band uniforms and was excited to try one on. There were so many variants. Some had feathers on the hat, there were chin straps on some, some even had some the school logo on them, and they came in every single color. The Royal Woods High School uniforms were light blue and white, they had the basic style of hat with a light blue feather.
"This is so exciting uniforms!" Aria said as they stood in line.
"I'm still not over what happened last year at the Memorial Day." Melody shuttered a bit at the memory. "Remember I nearly passed out because of them."
"I told you, you needed a second water." Aria added sounding concerned for her friend.
"Which I took but a black cotton jacket does not mix with a hot May day." Luna help but sweat at the thought of wearing that in the heat.
"You're uniforms were black." Ethan said in surprised.
"They were black in gold." Aria added not sounding rude at all.
"Like the Growlers, our hokey team." Alec pointed out. "You won't believe how many times we got that pointed out."
"Wait did you have a kick line in your show last year?" Issac asked.
"Yes and it was so much fun." Aria said and started singing as she did a little kick. "Come on by. It won't be bad."
"You were the only one in band who like the kick line." Melody said with a laugh. She turned to Isaac. "Why do ask Isaac?"
"I was in Denson's traveling pep and I got to see you show." Isaac explained. "I remember how the uniform colors stood out to me. I never seen a black one before."
"The kick line was the best part." Aria did a few little kicks.
"It was stupid." Alec said immediately getting a glare from Aria. The line moved up a little and Alec sighed annoyed on how slow this was going. He seemed to get out of line but a few more freshman joined them.
"Are the lines always this slow?" Luna asked as the moved up a little more.
"Pretty much." Melody explained. "You got measured right?"
"Yes I went to a local tailor." Luna explained raising an eyebrow at the comment.
"Good because I think people who didn't get it are getting measured right now." Melody shook her head. "The big thing that slows that down is people have to try on multiple jackets and hats."
"Huh hopefully it doesn't that place for me." Luna started to shutter a little.
"This uniform closet is much bigger than the one in high school." Aria said looking into but didn't leave her spot in the line. Soon afterwards Melody walked in to try on the uniform. Luna got a bit bored and the wait seemed to longer. She started to get a bit tired standing there.
"Hey your up." Another freshman said tapping Luna on the shoulder. Luna walked in and had to pause in awe. There were so many jackets that almost filled the room. Next to the jacket racks were selves that seemed to be full of hat boxes. She saw a few freshman trying on hats and upperclassman assisting them. Luna walked to an upperclassman who wasn't helping anyone and she smiled. She looked through some jackets before pulling one out.
"Here try this one." Luna took the jacket off the hanger. It was bit hard since there were many buttons and facets on the jacket. Once she got it on, she rebuttoned everyone and look at it. The jacket was dark red and the sleeves were decorated with back. There was also gold trimming around the jacket.
"How does it feel?" The upperclassman asked looking at Luna trying on the jacket.
"Um the sleeves feel a little too long." Luna held up her arms the sleeves covered her hand so they would have to be pulled over.
The upperclassman nodded, she walked across the jackets and pulled out another one. "Here take that one off and try this one on."
Luna did as she was told. She tried the jacket on and it felt much better. She held out her arms and the sleeves only went to her hands. "This feels much better."
Luna removed the jacket and put it back on the hanger. The upperclassman looked at the number on the back side. Luna gave the upperclassman her name and she wrote the number's down. Luna's number was 246. Luna laughed how she lucked out that it was easy to remember. She walked over to the hat line, where she was handed a clipboard. It had a list of the freshman and their glove size. Luna wrote down medium and she was sure that was her size. She didn't know and she would rather have bigger gloves than smaller ones. She held the clipboard until she saw a desk and placed it on the desk and waited until it was time for a hat. Melody walked by and waved. Ethan walked next to Luna and she handed him the clipboard. Before she could say anything she was called up to try on hats. Luna walked up to a male upperclassman who handed her a box.
"Now if the chinstrap is too tight or too lose tell me and I'll get you a new hat to try one." He explained and Luna took the hat out of the box. It was a red hat but lacked a feather. Looking a bit in the box there was what looked like a golden feather in the box. She tried this hat on and immediately felt the chinstrap was too tight. She took it off and handed back to the upperclassman who spray some disinfectant before putting it back into the box. She tried on a couple more hats before finding one that fit. She moved her head up and down and the hat hardly moved at all. She smiled and handed the hat back to the upperclassman who wrote her name on the box.
Luna smiled as she walked upstairs to the band room. She found out they were having sectionals and she made her way to them excited how close preforming was.
