HOMG LAST NIGHT I WENT TO A BAND COMPETITION THAT I WAS NOT PERFORMING IN.
Lake Erie Fanfare was last night~! We saw TONS of bands, The Cadets, Carolina Crown, Teal Sound, the Crossmen, the Glassmen...ah of course I didn't really know any of them but the Cadets(our director's favorite) until last night.
I've never gone before, and OMG WOW.
Hopefully I won't gain any stalkers by saying The Cadets practiced at OUR FIELD yesterday and we sat around watching them work before the show. Hopefully they didn't hear me Hetalia fangirling(hehehe) at the one guy's Union Jack pants xD

Hahaha, and some of the staff from my school's band are in our local Drum and Bugle Corps so they played at the begining, too. We saw some of our staff, but we didn't see our director(I did, however, notice his car in the parking lot, I believe).
So me and my friend(who's now in charge of our Pit) and her sister(who's brilliant at music) and her mom went.
Teal Sound had a bouncer xD
And these three were my favorites...
the Crossmen were AWESOME HOMG HOMG. I also loved their uniforms <3 THEY HAD CAPES AS"DPS"FK OMG AND THE HATS THE HATS! I got a shirt from last year's show because it was on sale and I didn't bring enough money for any of the other shirts any of the bands had.
Carolina Crown, HOMG. Aside from the fact that my favorite shade of green was EVERYWHERE(that was a brownie point thing xDDDD THEIR DRUMS WERE GREEN IT WAS SO COOL), the stuff they did...it was just all...really, really awesome. My friend was like "I TOLD _banddirector_ A MARCHING BAND COULD PULL OFF OVER THE RAINBOW!!"
And of course we already knew some of what we'd see from the Cadets, but it was so many, many times more brilliant at the show, of course. They did had this "fight" part that was really cool(they did West Side Story) andandand they were just awesome. And I of course had to remark on how I loved their uniforms.

....also, when Carolina Crown where going to do their encore, the drum majors walked past us to go to the field!
....I tried not to squee.
I'm turning into more of a band nerd and THANK GOD is what I say since I feel really out of place at band 'cause I don't know near as much about music as anyone else xP

Annnnd on my band's status, we're doing a Horror theme this year with stuff from Saw, Poltergeist, uh...can't remember what else. BUT WE GET TO CHANT ON THE FIELD 8DDDDD
...our championships are on Halloween, too.
SAdly been having some problems with band so I don't want to talk about my own very much right now. -frown- ;_;

Uhyeah I think that's it. Woooo that was SO FREAKING MUCH FUN. My Dad was just kinda like "...so were they better than you?" "DUDE. DUUUUDE. Don't you DARE compare US to THEM. Of COURSE they're better than us!" ...my parents don't understand band at all, but if they did they'd've realized I suck at it and made me quit by now. My mom always rants about how "she can't have me bringing down a group of people who work hard" because apparently if I'm not brilliant I'm not trying. So I'm probably quitting swim team this year D< Well, my band director lies and tells my parents how "great I'm doing" whenever he sees them because I'm his full-time Bari player so he kinda needs me as bad as I am.
