:-O This was supposed to be our "big out of state trip year" but something (funding?) crashed on that so we instead wind up going to San Antonio. Third year in a row for me. So I won't have an out of state trip until I'm like a junior or senior. :-P

We went to Yosemite and played at a local highschool in exchange to them letting us sleep on thier gym floor. We tried to trade drummers with them.

We leave for our band trip this Thursday evening! It's to Washington DC, May 8-12. We'll return home late Monday night if we run on schedule (and don't get lost...) hehe. I'm so excited! I haven't even started packing yet!!! I still need to go out and get some necessities, too! Like easy cheese!!! hehehe. We're getting a night tour of DC and everything on the trip. It's gonna be sooo much fun. The bus ride on the other hand....that could be interesting. We leave at 11 at night and "quiet time" isn't going to be until 2 in the morning... =D

lol, I think it's really funny when people that are in bands that ARE NOT from Florida get SOOO excited to go to Disney.
People in Florida Bands just kinda go "Oh... Disney...I've only been there like a million times -.- "
Anyways...
Next year we're planning a trip to San Francisco! We're gonna be taking like... V.I.P tours or whatever.. see a broadway play... and then perform at the Music Conservatory over there.

^we didnt go to disney, we went to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and Sea World.(even though my band director used to work there) but we got to see the light show and fireworks at a hard ticket event b/c we got compliments for good behavior ;D(there was middle school graduation ceremony there and they could tell a difference between us and other middle schools)

^This year my band went to Orlando too! I was kinda disappointed at first that we didn't get to go to Universal/Islands/Sea World (since I went there earlier this year with cross-country) but of course it was AMAZING. I can't think of one part of that trip I didn't like. ( ...Ahem, okay, well, there was the getting up at 5:30 AM to have practice at the hotel the day after we got there -_-) The competition itself was awesome too, all but one of our bands (highest band got a 2. haha) got straight superior ratings. I don't exactly remember the awards, but the jazz band brought home a gold trophy, concert band got a silver one, and our amazing trombone soloist got a shiny "best middle school soloist" trophy. Yeah, sorry it's so vague... the award ceremony was a blur of pixie sticks, cotton candy and screaming every time we heard our school's name. The best part is... WE'RE GOING AGAIN NEXT YEAR. ;D ;D ;D
