Pre-Competition Things

Our first competition is tomorrow!  I'm excited, but definitely not ready.  The upperclassmen aren't harping on us as much as they did last year.  I need to nail the end of the opener, solidify the very beginning of the ballad, and rehearse the end of the closer.  Originally, we were told we were playing the ballad beginning, but then we were told the pit was playing, and now we're back to playing it again.  Plus, they changed the counts so it fits with the music.  My shoulders are absolutely terrible.  Most of the time, they're on an angle.  That's because no one's been reminding me, and marching band is so extremely big on multi-tasking.  I can play and march most of the show with so-so style.

It's kind of frustrating.  The team our football team is supposed to play had a schedule change, so the game's tomorrow.  We'll have to rehearse, eat, change, drive, perform, change, wait, get awards, change, drive, change, play, perform, play, and drive home.  It's going to be tiring.  In some ways I'm glad, though.  We'll be back late at night and have to get up relatively early the next morning.  This way, we can go to bed early.

Yay!  I'm so excited for tomorrow!
