Region Band

so today was region band try-outs and I thought yesterday that I wasn't going to go. I was really set in stone about it too but something came over me working last night at Applebee's and so I decided to go today.

Today was interesting to say the least. I got into a big argument with my sister about who was driving and finally I won so I drove to and from Greenwood. On the way there, Kelly barely said anything to be because she was both upset with me for not letting her drive and she was doing homework. But eventually we got off the interstate and we were both bored out of our minds so we decided to talk to each other. We talked about things that have been going on with each of us over the course of the last week or so. Until we FINALLY got to Emerald HS (which took almost 1 hr and 45 min) and I saw people and they were surprised t see me there (trust me so was I) and I went and warmed-up and I was sounding good ESPECIALLY because I was playing on a cracked reed which is not fun btw. Got into the room and I was like "yeah I can do this..." and I was totally going to look at my scale sheet but I decided not to to be honest. So as I was going through my scales, I couldn't remember Gb, B or E so I was like whatever and I told the guy that I was going to skip those three and go to A and he was like okay. So yeah. Then I did my terms... I got 2 out of 5 correct. LAME. but I didn't know them. So it was as simple as that. Solo was the best out of everything. I got 3/4 of the way through without messing up bad. And then I crashed and burned after that but whatever. Sightreading is a nightmare ... they hit me with one of the hardest key signatures and 6/8 ... most of my friends know I have a problem with 6/8. I just can't play it for some reason.

Anyways...

So kelly and I leave Emerald HS and we decided that we were going to take 378 to get back instead of the interstate. And so we eventually got there and Kelly wanted to stop to get some munchies so we passed numerous gas stations when FINALLY I stopped for one and there were a whole bunch of weird people and so Kelly and I decided to move on. We literally drove for like 5 seconds and stopped at a grocery store called Reid's. We walked inside and Kelly and I went to the chips section and got some munchies and Kelly also had to use the restroom. So Kelly did that while I got the munchies. Then I waited on her to get out and we went to check out. We were walking to the front of the store when some dude who works there looks at us and goes "HEY! how are you doing?" and kelly and I just kept walking. We start walking towards the register and some lady who was shopping looks at us and says "hey! nice to see you!" and we have no idea who it was. it was rather interesting. We were thinking that we were in one of those towns were everyone knows everyone... so it was nice.

We got driving again and Kelly started talking about cows... it was kind of weird. Got about half way home and I was about to fall asleep but I didn't so yeah. Now I'm here waiting to see if the Region Band stuff will be posted but it probably won't until tomorrow. So I'll check back then.
