So finally I got the whole login figured out again, and this sidekick thing is totally wicked all portable internet and what not.
A recap of the past couple weeks, finishing school and the show was a great start to the summer, the show is cool and it is really hard physically, but each run through is making it easier and easier. After hayward show I got to spend one more nite in my bed at home and get bugged by my dad, it was cool and I miss him, and my sister and my mom and the rest of my family of course :-)
Going down to bakersfield was pretty cool, the weather wasn't too hot and the site was really nice, staying in portable classrooms with the a\c cranked is great. My favorite part of bakersfield was at the show...I was walking back after our show and this kid summed up the courage to talk to me, and he said, "mr. Blue devil, I think you're the best." It was very cute, and I think he might be playin snare for bd someday (I tired to get him to play tuba, but the horn went to his forehead, and he was wearing a bd snare shirt). I want to thank that kid and his dad, that event is going to be one of the best memories I have in drum corps.
Then it was off to arizona, all I have to say is that it's really hot and the academy kids are awesome to hang and play with. San diego was awesome I got to see my friend amber, who I have't seen in like six months, it was great catchin up with her. We also got jay, a new tuba player who filled the hole, he's a fun guy and is really smart, he should be marching the show really soon. Then Ontario. That placed reminded me of my old house where you used to smell the tomato canning plant in the fall, in other words not pleasant smells. The site was pretty cool and the weather wasn't too bad but yesterday it got really hot which made practice rather harsh. Well it's a free day today and laundry day, finally some clean clothes! Oh man I have so much more but from now on I'll keep you all better posted...nite nite
