YAY! It's still hanging on!

Marching band isn't over yet!!! At the rate we're going, it probably won't be over until the state championships! We won the game against Orofino, 67 to 6! (We played SO great!) Nothing is guaranteed, but this week for the semi-finals we play Payette. Unless our guys cramp up a whole bunch again, or we fumble it all the time, I'm pretty sure we will make it to the finals!!! (Knock on wood)

What's cool is that 3 schools from our district are going to semifinals: Payette, Weiser, and us! And then there's Shelley (who Weiser plays this next week). So that's kind of cool! I'm excited for the games this week to see who plays in the championships!!!

So the game this last week: Let's see... How do I say this bluntly? Well, there was 2 snare drums, 3 basses, 1 tenor, and 1 cymbal in the entire drumline!!! At the start of the game there was 1 of each! (Williams: "YAY we have a whole drumline!" haha and then Meeker was laughing so hard at my freshman lack of knowledge) It was insanity. Especially because I was the person who had to kick off the fight song EVERY touchdown. I've never ever done that before!!! I actually had to watch the game! Haha but yeah, it was just Ethan and I out of the snares and since he wasn't there before the game (when I had to march us over there, kick off the national anthem and the fight song, and do the heartbeat thing to introduce the players) I was the designated one to kick off the rest of the fight songs! There were some funny incidents. Like when the horns weren't paying attention and the drumline played the fight song solo for half the song!!! Yeah, it was interesting, to say the least.

Oh, my favorite part of the whole game was the announcer. So Orofino's mascot is the Maniacs, right? It was so funny to hear the announcer saying, "the ball was intercepted by the Maniacs" and "Illegal move by the Maniacs". Haha Ethan and I were laughing the entire time!!!

Anyway, that's about all I have to say! I'll blog later!
