BOA!!! lol

So today (yesterday) we went to BOA! In the Woodlands. Ah, we had a great time it was 1:45 p.m. when we preformed. We had a call time of 8 a.m. though so we could get a last minute run here and there. Our game the day before was 2 hours away so we didn't get home until midnight. So we were all exhausted. I was shocked we sounded and looked really good during practice. But I knew the moment we left our focus would die. And it did. It was there when we warmed up but not to the extent it should have been at. People in my band are way too ADD to pay attention for long.

Personally I did awesome. I missed my set points, but it's only because I was staying in the form, so technically I was wrong. but I made it look right. The only bad thing for me was the fundamental on our opening sets. It's okay

What I thought was hilarious is that people in my band (The people who don't go everyday, don't try and march well, and suck at marching their spot because they choose not to work on things) thought we would make finals.

I really don't think they understand that we needed to work focused like we have the past few days the entire marching season to be at the finals level. They don't realize Texas marching band is crazy competitive and there were like at least 7 consistent Grand National bands there. (ALL OF WHICH WE DIDN'T GET TO SEE! I was BEYOND pissed) We aren't there yet. In a few years maybe. I'm only pissed that the Woodlands beat us XD After that one time we beat them 2 years ago, we've been at each others throats lol.

So it was a LONG day.

And when we were coming home I call my mom when we are at the school and she's like, I'm in down town with your aunt. We'll try and pick you up. So 20 minutes later she calls me and tells me she's close and I was like YES, then she tells me it's going to be another 10 minutes. 20 minutes later they get there, and do I get to go home even though it's 7? Of course not, even though I'm exhausted, smelly, sleepy, super tanned, and disheveled I am forced to go to a freaking family party. And then forced to eat. It tasted BAD.

I finally got home at 10. A whole 3+ hours after I was supposed to be at home showering and eating and eventually sleeping. The food and shower woke me up (along with a friend who texted me randomly) so now I am anxiously waiting for musicforall to post the prelim scores to see how badly we did :D

Comptine d'un autre ete : L'apres midi

OMG I HAVE FOUND THE PERFECT COLLEGE!

It's called Mannes College The New School for Music. And I would basically breathe, sleep, and eat music! That would be freaking AMAZING! I like almost cried when I read the mock course thing. It is PERFECT. Not only is it Eat.Sleep.Breathe music I would be in NEW YORK, NEW YORK. I mean, seriously this is my freaking beyond dream school!

The only down side is that there were 210 undergrads last year. Yup. 210. I don't even think the entire school population gets close to 1000. That means this school is BEYOND difficult to get into. I mean. Omg, I am applying. I am going to write 3 or 4 kick ass scores just for that school and just give the rest of my school choices it.

I am so undecided. If I get moved on to the 2nd step, I will have to go to New York to get interviewed, and then maybe JUST maybe I could get in and be one of those 210 people who get in. I am scared out of my mind, I will be slightly devastated to be rejected from the school of my current dreams. Ugh, I dunno every other school now just pales in comparison.

I guess I'll just have to beast huh?

lol.
