Hey, guys.

Haven't posted anything in a while and I'm a little to tired to write that great of an entry at the moment.

I just wanted to say:

I'm really glad I came today and hung out for a while

You guys sounded gooood. I do miss band but if I can just come visit and play along every now and then I'll be fine, lol.

I brought back that selected studies for flute book and it is in the hallway by the storage room where all that music is, it's on the top of the stack though and should not be hard to find. all of you flautists should go and look through and find a piece to learn =] for all state or all county.

If you want, do what Hannah and I did and go copy the whole book in the office, it took a while but was well worth it.

I just know you guys are going to have a great season this year and I can't wait to come to a competition or a football game and see all of the drill that goes along with the music.

And I'm in town until next wednesday if anyone wants to hang or just chill and play flute together. I need to get some more practice in before I go up and play with the people at college and it's much more fun to practice with another flautist than all by myself. =]

Love you guys. I realized I forgot to bring cookies like I was going to. Well, maybe next time. I saw where Brianna is renewing the "cookie chart" idea. lol.

It was nice seeing you!

<3>

p.s.- mrs.varney told me that attendence at sahs is gonna be really high this year. like 1100 people in the school. she said it's gonna be so crowded they're refusing to take any students who don't live in sa. geeez, that sucks. Have fun manuveuring your way through the halls and waiting in the insanely long lunch lines when school starts back next week. haha. <3

p.s.s.- next wednesday is Scarlet Garner's birthday. Even though she is annoying and she does play the clarinet (which we all know is wayyyy lame) you should be nice and wish her a happpy happy 17th.

Without marching band in my life....

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)
