[OOC] Three way war

[Smystar99]

Oh my god dude, I was there three weeks ago XD

[Xion Demente]

Hate the heat now you know why I'm tired as heck

[Smystar99]

Oh god it suck! I`m glad to just be going to normal practices right now. Band camp is always the worse.

What instrument do you play?

[Xion Demente]

Baritone and were doing it in Texas

[Smystar99]

Oh my gosh, you must be dying. My friend`s in color guard she moved there last summer and she said she`s dying from the heat.

[Xion Demente]

Humidity and heat mixed together with the weight of the baritone combined not good just got done that's the problem it's right to five we used to match in the morning now it's morning and noon

[Smystar99]

The first week we march from 5-9pm. The second week 9-12am. The second week this year though we got rained out and had to march from 2-5pm...It`s easy to say I got burned like a strawberry. Humidity and heat are possibly the worst things about it.

[Xion Demente]

Next week we go from five to 9 and basically I was brined from my legs face and shoulders and I still had to hold up my instrument even with the sunburn on my shoulders and my back hurts now the baritone weighs maybe six to seven pounds and we have to put most of the weight on our shoulders

[Smystar99]

I play flute, we have problems with our shoulders. The instrument isn`t heavy but it`s uncomfortable and painful. My neck got burned the last two days of camp and I got heat stroke. I had to miss the last two days of band camp because of it.

I`m sorry you got burned though. I suggest aloe and coconut oil.

[Xion Demente]

Yah it helps we have one more week before band camp is over and school starts so officially my summer is over

[Smystar99]

Hey but at least you can look forward to competitions =/

[Xion Demente]

That too we've got a completion the day before school starts

[Smystar99]

So soon already! We have ours in October, All Three!

[Xion Demente]

well that's how high the expectations are at in new bruansfels high school

[Smystar99]

We have high expectations but you guys have had two weeks to practice. We only had our first movement done in that time. O.O

[Xion Demente]

we're spending maybe 30 minutes to an hour on learning a movement last week we've learned forward march backward march and slides along with the box drill

[Smystar99]

We learned all of that the first day. The freshman having been doing pretty good for it being their first year.

[Xion Demente]

yah now were doing the show marching now which is killing me

[Smystar99]

It`s going to be okay I promise ^^ We just got done with the second movement out of four. We hope to have the whole show done by the end of the month or early September.

[Xion Demente]

Cool you have more time than us to get ready
