Festival

On Thursday the top band at my school (Symphonic Band) oh yeah did I mention I am in that band? Oh well back to the story. So once a year all the Top bands from the middle schools in our region get together at one middle school and play three songs. We had like 5 or 6 bands at this thing. So while we were "listening" to the other bands me and my friend Emily Played tic-tac-toe, the dot game, and our favorite hangman. We played about 10 games of hangman to say the least. Well this was my first time at festival and the judges seemed really picky especially about articulation and dynamics. ( boy I really sound like a band geek don't I. oh well I am what I am. And God loves me the same) So my teacher this is his first year with our band, and his first Festival. So basically we were hoping for a good score. We got out there and played our hardest. And the judges seems to like our performance and we were all pumped up and thought we did our best, especially Alison ( the one with the poster) she had to do a solo in the middle of a song and she ACED it. We were happy for her because she was really nervous and was worried she was going o mess up, but she didn't. So here is the grading scale from best to worst,
1, 1-, 2, 2-, 3, 3-, 4, 4-, 5, 5-. So 1 is the very best and five minus is the worst. After festival was over our teacher went to get out score. So we all loaded onto the buss and Mr.W told us our score. We got a ONE MINUS! Which is very good I might add! Everybody was really excited, then the bus started moving and West Jordan Middles buss was ahead of ours and all the boys in the front of our bus started flipping the kids off from W.J.M. off and saying "F You!" to the other bus. It put a damper on the mood. But words are just words, but it was a little unnecessary and we found out today that West Jordan got a 1.

Boy, don't things keep getting better for me.
