So yea, I'll explain the title of this one in a minute. Hehe.
I was on my fall break this week. So, monday I left to go see my favorite sister. I had some fun there. I got there until 9. Woo. But, I had fun. I got to play SUper Smash Brothers on the Wii. Very fun. We left the next day, and i got to see Mrs. Teresa. She's doing much better! Then I left and headed home with Kay and George.
Bright and early on Wednesday, i had band practice. Oh, joy. I thought I was going to die. But it was worth it. (Still getting to the title's explanation) Not much to say about the practice. We worked. Long and hard. But, I did have to drive the four-wheeler to practice and back since Mom and Dad were still in Nashville. ;)
I went back to school Thursday. (I'm still trying to understand why we have Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday off one week, then Thursday and Friday off the next) I don't have CMS anymore. Now, I have keyboarding with Mrs. Ratliff. It was interesting the first day. A girl in my class named Callie Horton had a seizure. Scared the CRAP out of me. I talked to her later that day though, and she was doing fine. There wasn't anything special about Algebra and Biology that day. But Band was torture. That was the day we practiced until 5, and it just so happened that it was freezing and rainy. You would expect us to go insode... Nope. Not Foret. We were out there the whole time, and I froze my butt off. I started off with a jacket, but then I saw Emily Pitts, and she just looked miserable, so I gave it to her. Soo there i was, out in the freezing cold and rain, with jeans and a plain white T-shirt. Oh my goodness.
Friday. Nothing important during school. AFTER SCHOOL was where it was at. We had a game, and i decided to stay at school instead of going home. So yeah, the band owned at that game. (STILL not to the title yet)
Saturday-A day to sleep in and be lazy all day. Not for band kids. The drumline had to get there and practice at 8 in the morning with Mr. Jeff. Even though it was early and we were all tired, the practice was good for us. We practiced from 8-11, got on the bus to go to a competition. Yeah, we practiced on the bus too from 12-1:30. Then we practiced from 2:30 to 3:15, and performed at 3:30. (NOW getting to the title) Yeah, we owned!!! First place percussion, band, field commander, and color guard in our class. Overall, we also got first place percussion, band, field commander, and color guard. We also got the High Marching Award and the Best Soloist Award for Molly Whitley. (She had the trumpet solo in the second and fourth song) And, finally, we got GRAND CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!! WE WON THE PUNCH BOWL!!!!!!!!!!!
So yeah, that was my week. Pretty exciting.

I'm baaaaaaaaaaack!
It seems I have not been on here in a while.... sorry about that...
Well, i left you in band camp, so I'll start from there.
Band camp sucks. 'Nuff said.
Buuuuuut school has started. Joy. I'm going to talk about that for a minute.
1st Block-CMS (Career Management Success). It's a pretty good class. My teacher is Mrs. Amerson. She is nice. Not much else to say. It's only a 9 week class... Yea, I'm done.
2nd Block-Algebra 1. Mrs. Isbell is a really great teacher. One of my favorites, really. good thing, since I have to have her all year. I'm doing pretty good in this class. 100 average. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah. Thank goodness I sit next to Christian Shipman. He's a genius.
3rd Block-Biology 1. Oh goodness. I hate this class. Don't get me wrong, I love Mrs. Allison. It's the students in it I hate. Let's just say 6 people are failing the class, and the majority of the class has a C. I have an A though. One of the few 5. Thank goodness Mrs. Williams is next door, or else I would not be able to survive that class. I love Mrs. Allison and Mrs. Williams. They rock.
4th Block-BAND! This class is what gets me through the day. I'm glad it's my last class of the day because it actually gives me something to look forward to. Mr. Foret is great. This is my favorite class right here. I mean, who wouldn't like a class where you get to drum the entire time?
So yeah, that's school for ya. Nothing much else to it. So now to talk about marching season.
We have changed this show around so much, its almost completely different from how it was in band camp. It's a really fun show, though (Ha, that rhymed). The season is going pretty good for us. We've gotten Grand Champions a few times, and 1st place percussion quite a few times. We got a lot more, but those are my favorites to say. HA. State is in 3 weeks, and I'm nervous, but feeling good about it. Foret's main goal is to get in the top 3, and I'm going t work my butt off to help that happen. That about sums it up. Oh yeah, Mr. Jeff had a baby daughter!!!
Uh................... Well, judgement house is starting. I'm excited, even though i can only be a part of it one night. I tried out for "A Chritmas Carol," but didn't make it. Oh well. Not a big deal. Oh, and the church got a shiny new drum set! I like it. Very much. Right now, I'm on Fall Break, and I'm going to Nashville Tomorrow.
Well, that's about all I have time to say. I'm going to try to make this a weekly thing instead of a daily thing. So yeah, check up on it every week or so. See ya.
