Friday Freakouts

This week in general has been really tough. Last night we hosted the Night of Bands and I'm proud to say that I taught my Drum Major how to Hand Jive last night. The fact that I was one of the few who knew how to makes me very pleased. Over all I enjoyed Thursday Night Band exhibition.

Tonight the Hayden Wildcats take on the Walker Vikings in a game we all know is going to suck. Every year we get beat to a pulp at least the band is good. Well we used to be good anyway. This year just seems off, maybe its just me and my hatred for Rookies.

I hate how our band director lies to all our faces and say we do a good job when I know for fact we all suck. This year the rookies are getting babied, thats just down right annoying. Last year I was screamed at, I had to run, and I was given way to many push ups because one person was out of step. This year we have to speak to them like they're newborn babies. Its complete bullshit.

I was fussed at for moving at attention, fixing my hair during prayer, and not being quiet sometimes. This year I've got idiots doing that and when I get on to them I'm the one getting fussed at! Excuse me if I'm trying to do something right. It seems this whole band program is going downhill. The main problem is in my section. The trumpets, flutes, low brass, and percussion dont have dumb idiots like the Clarinets.

No one can get along in this section, everyone wants to run in and no one can work together. I've got a senior who cries all the fucking time and then I've got two gingers trying to actually do something but they get all the blame put on them. Then all the sophomores try to but heads and control people but do you know who has more authority than them? Me. The seating chart goes as written: Head section leader (Senior who cries), Junior co-section leader(To nice to function), Junior co-section leaders (the gingers), Tamara, Me, all the other people who dont understand order.

I'm pretty much in control of the section when some of the section leaders are gone. I've never been in such a horrible group where the underdogs try to take charge and they have no idea what the fuck they're doing. I know what to do and when to do, just like Tamara and the section leaders.I dont get why the rookies go to the dumbest fucking people in our section and ask them stuff. They're wrong and they're always going to be wrong.

The new begining!

Happy October everyone! To celebrate my favorite month I've decided to have a theme for my post.
This weeks theme is *insert drum roll here* Fall festivals.

To start off the week lets get on with it shall we? Today the  topic is about county fairs and what not to wear when you show up.

Everybody knows that when the county fairs come in its time to go out. You get to ride all the rides, see what the farmers and ranchers have been working on and mostly you get to eat the good food of the south. Deep fried everything, that's just how I and many other like it. Fairs are those few nights where you can stuff your face with funnel cakes and fried Oreo with a candy apple until you feel like you're going to explode.

Even though you're going to stuff your face like a hungry man that just got home from being abandoned in sea dont ever dress like it. It amazes me how people show up to these things looking like they have never been in public before.

When you're going out I suggest a cute flannel outfit or hoodie/crew neck sweat shirt set. You'll be cute and comfortable.

Make up= less is more. To much is hideous. You dont want to look like ursula from The Little Mermaid. Just apply some base and you eye makeup with translucent powder to finish it off.
