First of all, good job to all bands who participated in Artesia, it was a wonderful afternoon. Our band is actually on an upswing from where we were last week. We performed our first two songs at the best they've been all season, even though that's not saying much its still amazing, but when the third part came around we fell apart. This was the first time actually performing parts II or III in public and the first time for III to be played all the way through period... and for that I must commend them all. We've still got aways to go before Saturday and I'm really hoping we can make it there. As long as we have people practicing music and marching I hope that we could at least have a good show. Good Luck.
PS: Great job Goddard and Roswell High and good luck for your coming contests.
Music has always been something that I could rely on to keep me tied to the real world and get away from it all at the same time. What I can't understand is why some people don't love what music can do for people. In our marching band th purpose has strayed away from getting to know and love music to "why can't we do these simple things etc." Part of which is my fault. Music comes so easily to me sometimes that I don't realize that others don't have the same feeling. While I can feel the music to march with it others really have to work at it and it's so hard for me to acknowledge that. Also, being as competitive as I am it's hard to keep myself under control and realize that sometimes mistakes happen on all fronts. Please pray for me to keep may patience high and temper low as I try to make the last week before marching competition somewhat enjoyable. If I can't do it this week maybe we can do it next.
You know, I never thought that band would be a place for drama. But the last couple years it has been completely dramafied (that should be a word). Every time I try to stamp it all out it seems to cause more and more drama until the entirety of the world is flooded in icky gelatinous drama soup. Bleh, it makes me sick just thinking about it. I guess there is no more trying to stomp on it because more people will rise against. So much drama, so little want.
Zombieland was a great movie. Zombies lurking around every corner (with a healthy dose of laughter). The rules of surviving Zombieland was one of the best parts though. it added a nice touch to the comedy aspects. Plus the backgrounds on how each person became where they are in Zombieland was great. Then of course you can't go wrong when you throw in a lil Bill Murray!! I'd give it a 4.5 out of 5.
I'm sure that none can match what God has in store. But to wait for that is torture. I guess we all must wait and see, continue his work, and lead as many people along with us as possible.
