On to Vic'try, Strike Up the Band!

     So right now, I should be doing my chemistry homework, but instead I want to write something that's on my heart.  It didn't truly hit me until now... but seeing all of these pictures on facebook of people getting glittered up for football games in their uniforms really makes me miss the AHS band.  You see, in high school, band was the one place where I felt like I belonged.  There are such great people there, that made you laugh, and were there for you on your toughest days.  You could just be yourself with them.  I have alot of great memories.  I hope that everyone that's in the band is loving every moment of it, and is having a great year.  I just want y'all to know that I care about and miss y'all...you will always a place in my heart :) I hope to come watch y'all this Friday night... I know you all will do fantastically, as always!

     Even though I am done with that chapter of my life, thankfully a new chapter has come.  I moved in on August 5th to try my hardest to get a spot in the Auburn band.  That week and a half consisted of R.A.T. (Rookie Auburn Tiger) drills at 7:30 a.m., practice at 8 in the morning until 8 at night (there were lunch and dinner breaks though), and then R.A.T. activites after that.  You see, band camp is no joke.  We were out in the hot sun for the majority of that week and a half learning how to high step and do the pregame jog and halftime.  Personally, I sweated buckets.  But I wouldn't have had it any other way... it was all worth it!  I've met so many people, who have all been really kind to me.  I've had a great time! They love what they do, and they are so spirited!!  I love all of the traditions.  I believe there were around 450 (not sure of the exact number)  that tried out, and 380 people that made it.  Somehow, I have no idea how, I was one of the 380.  Still not sure how that happened... I just know that I feel really blessed, and I am so thankful.  I'm really looking forward to this Saturday... I can't wait to be on the field and in the stands with all of those awesome people!  On a side note, besides the A-day game, this will be my first Auburn game... and I am thrilled!!!!!  :D  So to get you all in the spirit of Auburn football, here's a video of the pregame show a few years back! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I69NNdYRORE
