AN: I was going back through my stories recently and since my muse for Major Pain is hiding out somewhere, I decided to make this addition to Art of Sound: Chapter One.

A little backstory…I started this tradition when I was sixteen. Whenever a friend goes on a long journey or big trip, that friend is given a letter. What began as a serious and sentimental bit of correspondence has transformed into a silly and random quiz that is looked forward to well before the person even leaves for their journey.

I decided to share it here, in case, well, you wanted to carry on the tradition for yourself. This is the basic outline…

Plane Letter to Bronwyn

(created by Megan and Meredith)
(mix CD also enclosed)
(Pixy stx also included)
(P.S. Meredith's tank tops better be returned in good condition!!)

Dearest Bronwyn,

We hope this letter will last you at least through the take-off and who knows? Maybe some of these things will come true. Text us when you land so we know you're safe. Pre-band camp won't be the same without you, but we're very proud to call you our friend! Show those other kids what Brookwood is all about.

And let the quiz begin:

1. When Bronwyn is Pasadena she will…

a. Inexplicably run into Drew, make up with him, drive to Vegas, and get married – becoming Mrs. Captain Bronwyn Strauss-Flueger.

b. Become a member of the Rose Court

c. Inexplicably run into Tony, tell him what she really thinks of him, fire him from the BHS drumline, and proceed to have a kick ass season!

d. Be 'discovered,' permanently move to LA, and star in an upcoming WB television show.

e. Be called upon to use her mad percussive skills and step up to somehow become the 10th member of a World Class snare line

f. Transfer to USC and start college early.

g. Purple.

h. Get a weird roommate, not sleep for a week, and roll into band camp as a zombie.

i. Meet a new guy who is somehow NOT affiliated with marching band, and finally start a normal relationship.

j. Be involved in a high speed car chase.

k. Form an impromptu parade.

l. Get delayed in Vegas and win big at slots.

m. Admit that there is no DCI Intern program, and that this is an elaborate attempt to get back at Tony, and be checked in to a 'recovery' program for mental issues.

n. Meet an agent, sell her life story, and have it made into a movie!

o. Meet various celebrities and impressive them with her paradiddles.

p. Get invited to a movie premiere (you cannot wear a drum on the red carpet!!)

q. Write a new cadence which sounds a lot like California by Phantom Planet.

r. Dye her hair blonde a la La Lohan.

While at home, Megan will no doubt…

1. Plan the greatest prank of all time for band camp

2. Be such a drill sergeant that by the time Bronwyn gets back from Pasadena, the entire band will have learned the halftime show, thus making the week of band camp one of relaxation and rest.

3. Get weirder tan lines than last year.

4. Attempt to do reading for any of the three AP classes she's already behind in.

5. Adopt a puppy.

6. Go to the zoo.

7. Regret her decision to be a Band-Aid for Mr. Izzo.

8. Attempt to break her record of free movies seen in one day.

9. Get over her fear of singing in public, and audition for the Fall musical.

10. Break yet another pair of sunglasses.

Also residing near Brookwood, Meredith will probably…

a. Kick Dana's ass.

b. Break Dana's arm so that she can't twirl for the season. (Only kidding!)

c. Go crazy trying to figure out which coordinated ensembles her section is required to wear for the rest of the season.

d. Come up with horrible combinations of clothes just to make the other sections laugh.

e. Get arm muscles Chuck Norris would be proud of.

f. Get bruises that Chuck Norris would also be proud of.

g. Kick the ass of Chuck Norris.

h. Become the featured twirly person around the soloist.

i. Get bored, and fly to Pasadena for the week to keep Bronwyn company.

j. Take advantage of a freshman.

k. Create a virtual scrapbook masterpiece.

l. Go to Costco and stock up on enough supplies to last for a week for her roommates at band camp.

m. Finally come up with a skit for the Guard that is not lame.

n. Finally ask out the cute pizza delivery boy that we keep calling.

Wherever Tony is, he is most likely…

a. Kicking himself for not taking Bronwyn to Prom when he had the chance.

b. Plotting how to best kick Spence's ass.

c. Trying to work up the courage to ask Bronwyn if she'll let him be Co-Captain.

d. Keeping on being the same bitter Tony.

e. Coming to his senses that Bronwyn is the far superior Captain and seek her out in Pasadena to tell her just that.

f. Admiting that 'marching corps' this summer was all an elaborate attempt to cover up the fact that he was actually working in the Ice Capades.

That's all for now...

Be safe and wear sunscreen ya fair skinned ginger!
