My Last BOA Performance

[mercat]

*sigh* I typed up a whole entry for BOA, and then IE just completely shut itself down. Grr. Anyway. Thursday, we had an awesome performance, minus the mikes' signals being bitchy and not working. But anyway- excellent performance! The waterfall in the trio... spotless! Glorious! w00tness. Friday I could not focus because I was so nervous about our score. (By the way- lunch was spaghetti and we played the pirates in football. Oh, yeah. We beat them, too!) We found out after half time that we got a Division II rating... so we could have scored badly, or well. We didn't know. Later they found out that we didn't make semis. Oh, well. Saturday was awesome! Semis were fun to watch. The skeleton band was definitely marching concert tubas without assistance. Yowza. Oowasa (sp?) had cool music, but the guard (dressed as birds) was too distracting for most people to notice. L.D. Bell (3rd in finals?! WTC?!), aka, the whore corps... haha! Ronald Reagan...OH MY GOD. WHY DID THEY GET SECOND?! Their show was GORGEOUS. Carmel won, I think just because they suspended their guard. Their music was crap, though. I ignored the show TWICE. No plume swtiches, amazingly. Lots of stuff stolen blatantly from this year's DCI shows. Afterward we found out we got 5th in our class (AA) and missed Division I by two points! (A 73... we needed a 75. I attribute those two points completely to the mikage, because the GE judge mostly talked about our balance, which was off because of the mikes.) I just checked BOA's site... it said we got 21st overall. That can't be right, because they took the top 30 (or 34) bands for semis, and we didn't go. SO... maybe that was 21st for our day? Anyway. Afterward, I roomed with Alicia, Teresa, and Suzie. I drank 20 oz of Diet Mountain Dew (grody) and 16 oz of regular (yummers) and 3 mini bags of cheezits. We watched almost all of Blast and all of the Stewie Family Guy Movie. (Which is pretty much only funny for the first hour.) I went to bed at 4, got up at 8:30... I'm still feeling it. Read Kevin's bathroom reader, saw the play (It's a Wonderful Life), went to a lame corn maze.

I'm going to miss marching band.

I already do.

I hope it snows tomorrow, that would be le tight. =^n.n^=
