I Am A Rainbow TodayGrin and bear it.
November 1st marked the end of marching season. Not really, just the end of competative marching season. If you didn't know, for the past 6 months I've been playing "La Fiesta Mexicana" in the front ensemble. Translation: I've been playing a mexican halftime show on percussion instruments. The last time we'll play the show is next Friday, at a playoff game. If our team wins, we'll be doing a "pep rally on the field", which means we're just gonna play cheers and stuff and not do much marching. This also means that I'll officially be back to the flute section. Although, by chair placement, I belong in symphonic band (the highest band right now), I'm 1st chair concert band on flute. When the second half of the school year starts in January, they'll add another band: Instrumental Tech., which will be the lowest band and they won't perform concerts. Although I am sad to be leaving my friends in the front ensemble, my fellow flute friends are welcoming me back with open arms.
Fortunately, to get me through concert season, I will be trying out for our Indoor Percussion group. Indoor Percussion is a condensed, inside version of marching band. Only the front ensemble and battery (plus marching cymbals) perform, and we use props and march on a mat. Youtube it. So, I'll be going right back to front ensemble, if I make it. Luckily, I have a good chance of making it as an actual performer this year (last year, I was simply on floor crew and did all the "behind the scenes" stuff). Our show this year is apparently going to be called "1", or something along the lines. The idea of this theme is that everything starts out with one idea, and ends with one result. The show will start out with our center snare (one of our drum captains) playing, then our other captain on tenors, and so on until everyone's playing. It's going to be a good year!
In other recent news, Obama was elected president. For some of you, this may be a sore subject. Others, it's their favorite. The reason I brought this up is because although I live in a McCain-strong area, I would've voted Obama.
With that all said and done, I'm doing fine. Life's good. And I hope it is for you, too.
Happy Thanksgiving for all you Americans!

This is a good sign... xD
You'd vote Obama? Never would have figured. xD I didn't like either of them. Preferred McCain though, but Obama was ok.

I mainly didn't like McCain cause he didn't do freakin' anything xD At least Obama was trying his hardest to win. McCain didn't seem like he cared in some aspects like TV ads, which I never saw any.

even though everyone at school calls me a baby killer and a commie and a terrorist and they're always saying it's my fault if we go broke when we're older.
but i don't care.
stupid hoosiers.
