Today a friend of mine in band told me when I post the link to my newest blog entry on Facebook she gets excited and immediately reads it. To tell the truth I was shocked, pleased, but shocked. I am aware people are reading this blog, I mean the hit counter grows everyday. This week it was at 793...? I think. That in itself was like "wow! so then I go to traffic sources, and it turns out a lot of people are reading this blog from finding it on Google, from keywords, and from health webpages. Jeez! Now I feel like I have to start writing actually valid information! I mean, all I really write about is band, school, band, horses, and band.
Unfortunately to finish up this entry it will be no different. I have been at pre-band camp all week and it has literally consumed my life, my body, my brain. rhythms fill my head as I try to sleep, parts of my body are sunburned where I didn't know they could be, after continuously rubbing my eyes in pain I looked in the mirror a little while ago and realized my eyelids were sunburned. EYELIDS! How is that even possible? OK I know how, but still. But the band is getting so good, maybe its my imagination, but this band is better then I have ever heard or seen it. Everyday watching our 25 year old brand new band director on his rickity banana yellow podium, and marching around on the asphalt I feel like I'm living in one of those movies where a group is drastically horrible and then this wonderful, maigcal person shows up, and he or she is usually so mean, and does things completely out of the ordinary, and theres always a scene in a thunderstorm and heroic music, but in the end the group becomes amazing, and theres the final speech by the leader, and then they win the goal, and everyone is happy and sings and dances....
Ok you get my point, but that's how I feel, that we are rising to greatness. And I'm not just observing, and I am so influenced, I'm actually practicing, trying my very hardest (getting my eyelids burned). Ok more later, for now this band geek needs sleep it's 10:00 pm on the first day of August, what am I still doing up!? (that was a rhetorical question, insert sarcastic tone)
