2007-06-11 [Raesha]: yay!

2007-06-11 [Kailynn]: ^^...

2007-06-11 [Raesha]: who'd have thought id love band...

2007-06-11 [Kailynn]: I new that I"d love it...I wanted to be in since I was little....^^..and got to start in the 3rd grade (with the recorded) and at the end of 5th grade got my insturment..although at that time I was forced to play the sax..but I switched over to clarinet and self taught myself the flute..and then got to switch to it..and I'm not going back to playing any of the other ones soon..^^..

2007-06-11 [Raesha]: well, i loved concert band, but in order to stay in concert in high school you had to join marching band. it practically killed me...

2007-06-11 [Kailynn]: yeah..that's how it is at my high school..but I love marching!!!....

2007-06-11 [Raesha]: i didn't...
~*~*~would you believe i miss it now its over and cant wait for it to start again? <img:44166_1164144921.gif>

2007-06-11 [Kailynn]: yeah//It happens...

2007-06-11 [Raesha]: i just hope i dont end up hating it again...

2007-06-11 [Kailynn]: ^^..It gets a bit better each year...My Freshman year pretty much sucked..but it was better my Sophmore year...

2007-06-11 [Raesha]: it'll be my sophmore year this time...

2007-06-11 [Kailynn]: yeah..it should be better...^^..

2007-06-11 [Raesha]: i hope so...

2007-06-11 [Kailynn]: Well..I"m going into my junior year...so I"ve been through my Sophy and Fressy years..and my Sophy year was a lot better..^^..

2007-06-11 [Raesha]: i bet junior will be better still!:p

2007-06-11 [Kailynn]: yeah!!..I'm really excited about it!!...WE have a 007 theme this year!!..and I get to march with the piccolo!!

2007-06-11 [Raesha]: why do people love piccolos so much? my friends marching one this year too!

2007-06-11 [Kailynn]: their a lot easier to hold than the flute...the flute gets heavy haveing to hold it parallel to the ground...^^...

2007-06-11 [Raesha]: -_-
you dont know the meaning of heavy!

2007-06-11 [Kailynn]: Yeah..but it does hurt..and when you do a slide (don't remember which way..but it's one of them) it feels like half of you just went numb..it hurts really badly..and it doens't with the piccolo..plus you can hear the piccolo...^^..

2007-06-11 [Raesha]: that never made sense to me... its smaller and louder?

2007-06-11 [Kailynn]: yeah....it's more shrill....^^...

2007-06-11 [クロナ]: And...if you think about it..it does make since...the smaller the insturment the higher and louder it is..^^...

2007-06-13 [Raesha]: *shudder* too much shrillness....

2007-06-13 [Kailynn]: But the piccolo is fun to play...^^

2007-06-13 [Raesha]: for you, maybe! it should be used as a weapon...

2007-06-13 [Kailynn]: OO.....But..They break too easily!!..and the repairs are so expensive!!!...*holds Piccolo tightly.*..No on'es going to use mine!!

2007-06-14 [Raesha]: i wont use yours...

2007-06-14 [Kailynn]: Okay!!..^^...Yay!!..New member!!..^^..

2007-06-18 [Raesha]: *does a dance* Yes!

2007-06-18 [Kailynn]: ^^.....

2007-06-19 [Skw3rlch4n]: With the piccolo you tend to go deaf in the right ear after awhile... o.O

2007-06-19 [Raesha]: personally i think piccolos make great weapons!

2007-06-19 [Kailynn]: Yeah...That does happen...^^..But it's fun to play it around my little Lilly.....She'll follow you around forever when you play the piccolo...It's great....That's what I do when we need to find her so that way we can get her outside....

2007-06-19 [Raesha]: heehee... pied piper...

2007-06-19 [Kailynn]: ^^'

2007-06-30 [Raesha]: what oddles of fun!

2007-07-10 [Raesha]: eep. it could be worse!
 it could be cold and snowy!

2007-07-10 [Kailynn]: Yeah...but AL's in a major drought...It's to the point were they caution us not to stay outside for a long time..We passed the "don't burn things" mark a long time ago...OO

2007-07-11 [Raesha]: yeah, we're in a drought in ohio too... whered the rain go?!

2007-07-11 [Kailynn]: to Texas....According to a friend that I've been talking to..XD

2007-07-11 [Raesha]: they need to learn to share!

2007-07-11 [Kailynn]: I know!!..XD

2007-07-13 [Skw3rlch4n]: California isn't suffering from drought, but Lake Tahoe (CA and NV) has been burning for awhile now.

2007-07-13 [Kailynn]: Yeah..It's a real bad drought here in AL...We've gotton rain some this week and a few sprinkles the week before...but we're still a good 17 (at the least) inches below what we need

2007-07-14 [Raesha]: the grass in ohio's all pokey and brown and it hurts...<img:44166_1164145230.gif>

2007-07-15 [Kailynn]: We don't have any grass...unless yuo water it....

2007-07-16 [Raesha]: no grass is better than pokey grass!

2007-07-16 [Kailynn]: Not on our field.....b/c we spend all day on it...that and the darker the color the more sun it absorbs and the hotter you feel b/c you're maching on it all day..^^

2007-07-17 [Raesha]: oh... ouch. that's not fun.

2007-07-18 [Kailynn]: Yuppers!!

2007-07-18 [Raesha]: eep! my band's having a car wash! fun!

2007-07-19 [Kailynn]: OO...We never do anything like that....but we have a bunch of findraisers....We have to sell chicken as our first one...but...It's not for our profit...and we HAVE to seel the tickets...Which is stupid..

2007-07-21 [Raesha]: wait... did you say chicken?!

2007-07-22 [Kailynn]: Yeah..It's a stupid idea....(They're going to be smoked..and people have to buy it for $8..which is a lot..YOu can go pick it up at WAl-Mart for $4..and get the same size)

2007-08-04 [Raesha]: wow...
sorry it took so long for me to respond, i've been at band camp, then the hospital... in that order. i didn't even get to go to the last day of bandcamp...

2007-08-04 [Kailynn]: Ah..Yeah...I was gone for a while because of Band camp..and then I have to start school Monday...and then I have band mon, teus, thrus..so I won't be on a whole lot...

2007-08-16 [Kailynn]: XDXD...We don't have it on WEd...but that's b/c we live on the bible belt..so almost all of the band goes to church...

2007-08-25 [Raesha]: only like three band kids go to church here...

2007-08-25 [Kailynn]: XDXD...Only like three band kids don't go to church here..XDXD

2007-08-26 [クロナ]: OO...Wow..Seriously> I didn't know that!!! OO....You talk to a bunch of them, don't you? ^^..You're so social!!..

2007-09-02 [クロナ]: XDXD...

2007-09-03 [Skw3rlch4n]: This was an actual conversation I had with a friend of mine during band rehearsal: We were told to run back to the end of the blacktop to do more comp. starts and I was walking along when I heard my name called. I turned and there was my friend Sam running with her trombone. She said something and I didn't quite catch it. I asked her to repeat it as she ran by and she said,"It's hard to run with a 'Boner!"

2007-09-03 [Kailynn]: XDXD...WE say that all the time in band....^^....

2007-09-06 [Skw3rlch4n]: The Drum Corps International Championships were on tonight!!

2007-09-09 [Raesha]: maybe it'll be on youtube...

2007-09-12 [Kailynn]: It probably will...^^

2007-09-17 [Raesha]: C-WOOD! C-WOOD! We got a one!

2007-09-18 [Kailynn]: ^^....THat's good..Did you get any best in class?...OO...Our Drum major normally gets it and we get durm a lot too...^^...

2007-09-18 [Skw3rlch4n]: My marching band participated in the Walnut Festival in Walnut Creek, California. Our drum major won first place, the band won first place, and our auxilaries (color guard) won second place! :D

2007-09-18 [Raesha]: we got...
in class A:
best auxilary
best percussion
best general effect
and overall:
best general effect
2nd place!
WOOT!

2007-09-19 [Kailynn]: ^^.....We normally get about 2nd over all...things like that......and I think that we'll do good with general effects this year...we're putting in a lot of things..b/c it was our lowest score last year...

2007-09-29 [Raesha]: really? fun!

2007-09-30 [Kailynn]: Yuppers!! We have our first comp this weekend..and so far from what Mr. Farris has seen from Ft. Payne (the people that we noramlly can't beat)...he thinks that we're doing way better....but they're haveing trouble with band or something...a lot of people quite..I think...because their not even in our class for the first couple of comps...

2007-10-02 [Skw3rlch4n]: On Saturday, we won second in our division and fifth overall out of 23 bands.

2007-10-04 [Kailynn]: I don't know how our band will do...we have our first comp this Saturday..WE normally go to our first one last weekend (if that makes since)..but we had a paraide and Mr. Farris doesn't like us to do both of the things b/c the comps second and we're noramlly tired from the football game the day before getting up at 6 to go to a parade and then going to a comp...so we do really bad..so our first on is this week

2007-12-14 [Raesha]: fun! howd it go?!

2008-07-31 [クロナ]: So......It's [Kailynn]. I'm on this account because of things that were going wrong on the other one. lol. And I added myself to the "dance" part because this year I'm on Dance line. lol.

I'm so totally excited! I'ce marched something different every year I've done marching badn! ^^

2008-09-12 [Raesha]: thats crazy! how do you do that? id go insane!

2008-09-13 [クロナ]: Nah. I like doing different things. I taught myself how to play flute and piccolo is just like a flute....and Clarinet is what I was taught to play origionaly.
