Well last night I was way too tired to post anything... and even though it is 1:00 in the morning, I am in desperate need to put this on! AAAAHHHHH I AM GOING TO MISS MARCHING BAND SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!! The day started out great, woke up around 8:30 went to Bagel Boy, and then we made our way to USD. We were all excited for our day, but also ready to finish off the season! We got to Vermillion and immediately got off the busses to eat... (My final band Lunch: [ ) After a quick lunch, we needed to get dressed and load the busses to get to our practice area! Once we got to the warm up area, we noticed the clouds were a little gloomy but, we decided to ignore it and continue on with our day. But what we didn't expect was for the clouds to open and unleash an ocean on us!!! We were literally soaked from head to toe. But finally after our busses came back and we loaded up... It stopped... (Just our luck) Then we marched down the ramp and into the stadium. Knowing that this was my last time on the field was upsetting... but we managed to get through the show... It wasn't amazing by any means.. but we did a nice job. At USD we saw our dear commander friends from Brookings, Amy, Miranda, and Even!!! Goodness I love them! After our quick greet with our besties... the commanders got on the field one last time for awards... The Brandon Valley Marching Lynx placed 2nd.. which was good... and I was ok with...
Immediately after the performance, we loaded the busses, changed, and started on our long journey to Orange City. THANK GOD IT WAS NOT AS COLD AS LAST YEAR!!! We had no time to waste... we got uniforms on... had a very quick warm up, and made our way to the field for our last performance of our 2010 show "Checkmate". I will say with my entire heart that that performance... was my favorite of all the years combined!!!! It was AMAZING!!! Now, I am not a person who cries. But during warm ups, I teared up a little bit, giving hugs to all the seniors, then underclass men, then (especially then) to my fluties!!! I love them so much!! After the show, once again, I told myself that I wasn't going to cry, and everything was going just fine, until Mr. Kessler came up to me and gave me the biggest bear hug ever!!! OMGOSH I cried like a baby after that... don't know why.. Just did.
We watched the fireworks and then to awards… We placed 4
th in 4A and I honestly don’t think anyone was upset about it… We all knew it was our best and that any place a judge could have given us was only to their standard… not ours.
But all I know is that I loved my senior year show, and I will NEVER forget what I have done on that field the last 4 years, and what my contribution to the band was!!! I LOVE YOU MARCHING LYNX!!!!
