I am going to turn into a pile of larvae due to no physical activity. My beautiful calves, shaped by 4 years of calve (sp?) presses are going to slowly weaken because without band I have no motivation to do calve presses. It's a lot harder to make yourself do things than it is when people are standing in front of you with a glock forcing you to do them and you do because you don't want your bandmates to think you're lazy.
However, my arms are getting slightly more in shape due to slapping pizza dough at Papa John's all summer long. (come see me! I'll hook you up with a discount!)
My college has a fitness center though, so maybe I'll go and run (lol, just kidding, what i meant to say is "walk at a slightly speedy pace") on the treadmill. and they have a pool so I can get some swimming in. (i decided not to be on their swim team because it's too competitive for me. i like to swim, i just don't excel at it) And of course whenever I feel nostalgic I can just practice marching around my house and do some "about faces" and "to the rears" or stand in parade rest for hours. (okayyy. i promise I am not that much of a nerd!) However... you guys really should practice marching at home in order to improve yourselves and thus improve the band as a whole!
I played my flute this morning. It was nice. "Ballad atop a Scottish More" is my fave, and I played psalm 42 (i always play it when i practice so i can keep it memorized and also because i just like it) and other stuff (i already freaking forgot "under the sea", hannah. ugggh! i have terrible memory). Which reminds me, I still have the Selected Studies for Flute book which I need to bring back (after I make copies of it, lol) so you guys can have it for All-County and All-State which I would advise EVERYONE to try out for this year!!! I'm pretty sure the 3 people who were the first 3 flute chairs graduated, so you guys could move in and there's enough of you that the entire all-county flute section could be SAHS! Brianna and Bell- try out on piccolo!!! I really regret that I didn't last year. And especially you Brianna because you've done all-county before and I know you'll be trying out again so you might as well try out on flute and picc.
So maybe I'll come drop that book off and visit tomorrow because it is..... (drumroll, puh-lease)
NIA'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she'll be 17
isn't she sooo cute??? all grown up.
=]
love you NIDA!
Hope you have a SUPAAA Birthday!
I'll try to come. It just depends how early I can get out of babysitting.
I also need to see Lil Joe and tell him a belated happpy birthday.
Maybe I'll bring you flute players cookies because I'm so nice like that. (but don't get your hopes up yet, haha)
okay, well. I've written enough and none of it was really that flute-related or educational or anything like that but whatev.
miss you guys!
loveeeeeeee,
Sarah Anne
a msg for Mr.White or any band booster related person that may or may not happen to be reading this: I realized the other day that I never paid my band fee from last year (ooops!!!). I just want you to know that I have not forgotten and I WILL pay it as soon as I can. I have to get my fall tuition taken care of first or else I can't go to college (haha) but next on my list is that band fee, I promise)
