Well, band camp week one is over. It's bittersweet. The easy part is over and next week is the hard part, but we get started on the part I love. One of the directors made me show the entire band my horns-down, calling it the "most intense horns-down [he'd] seen all week". He followed with "A year and four days ago, I never thought she'd make it through the morning, much less an entire season".

The drum majors are awesome, I'm friends with all of them, and the show sounds like it'll be all right. Nothing will beat The Martian Chronicles in my eyes, but this year is going to be amazing. We're doing... actually, I'm not going to say until later in the season, when the music is set and they've started laying out drill! But know that I'm totally hyped for the Macy's show!

Oh, yeah, in case you haven't figured it out, my band is going to be marching in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! Seriously, everyone is totally excited. We get to go see Wicked on Broadway, so all the girls are getting really dressed up for that. I found an online dress designer and figured out the perfect dress! I hope I can find it somewhere. It'll be red with an assymmetrical skirt line and a scoop-neck top.

So maybe this journal isn't as great as the last ones, but you have to understand, it's ten thirty-ish and it's later than I've been up in a week. So I'm kind of tired. I'm ready for band camp to be over.

So we'll get through the weekend. Tax-Free weekend and whatnot, gotta get school supplies, then going with my friend on Sunday to find her a dress for Broadway!
