If you must know....I do not play a BAND instroment. I play violin and piano. But that doesn't matter! Anyway...I am IN the marching band because I am on the color guard. The people that spin the wooden guns and large shiny poles with flags upon them.

Unfortunately....this saturday is the last competition for Marching season! :( We are performing our show at the TWA dome, or GSL dome, or the Edward dome, or what-ever it's called now, really bright and early that morning!

I don't think any of you are going to be there, but if you are, let me know so I can cheer for you! :) I plan to stay there all day too! I think I updated my e-mail (lp9007@earthlink.net) so drop me a line if you don't want others to know what school you are! And yes I'll e-mail back!

Anyway...if/and/or/when anyone out there is going to that certain competition, and are there to see us perform, we are called, The Marquette Mustang Marching Band. We perform at like..........early in the morning! :) I forgot the time! Anyway, drop me a line, or not! :)

It's from Rush's album, 2112. It's about this dude in the future who lives in an oppressed society.

I had my concert band concert last Wensday! It was so fun seeing the entire band crowd around us, the jazz band, just for warmups! My conductor didn't even notice for about 10 minutes, and when he did, it was really funny watching them scram!

It was funny joking with my intermediate band(i'm in advanced) friend, saying he didn't make adv. band 'cause there were no open alto spots, but over the summer, all but two of them quit!

I am FLUDD, the Flash Liquidizing Ultra Dousing Device. I hope to be of assistance.

Guess what?!?! It's that time again to take out your drill books and set picture one of the show...marching season has started. Well...it's pretty much over now...but oh well.

Okay, I know I haven't posted in ages, but I still feel loyal to the good ol` TMK.

But that's off topic.

MARCHING BAND PEOPLE! What's up? :)

There's really no "real" point to this post, but as a spontaneous question...what competitions have you performed at so far? What places, what's your show called and what not? :)

We've performed at...

Farming Competition
Lafayette Competition
Echoes off the River Alton Competition
and
Greater St. Louis Competition

We don't do very much, but the football games and parades take a lot out of you. Not to mention the practices.

Anyway...anyone been to these competition? Which ones have you all been to?

::side note:: thought I'd bring this topic to life again! :)

Anyhow, I pulled out of marching band at the last moment for my freshman year of college because of the huge time commitments. It also conflicted with a different Honors Program thing I was doing. Oh well, maybe next year.

Well, my marching season is almost over (less than a week!). At least I am playing 1st like I should this year - the sad irony being that I can't play antmore due to my nose surgery. I'm glad I can at least march the show for Regionals.
