Logan Band Festival, among other things...

Published on October 2, 2004 By Death_By_Beebles In Misc

Tonight (Sat. Oct 2nd, 2004) was the Logan Festival of Bands. Our band went and did our new half-time show, and we did ok. Our first show was a Blues Brother's theme, playing Soul Man/ I Can't Turn You Loose, Respect, and Everybody Needs Somebody to Love. This show is a little more contemporary, with hits like Hey Yah, by Outkast, Stacey's Mom by Fountains of Wayne, and You Shook Me all Night Long, by AC/DC. Over all, we did pretty good, but the end of Stacey's Mom still needs a little work. Trumpets (my section) have un-Godly high notes, and some of the seconds can't hit them well, so that's something I need to work on when we get back to school on Monday. Overall, I'd give us a 7 out of 10.

One of the best things about away games and band trips is that I get to spend more time with my girlfriend, Sam. She was upset about some of the band members being stupid about role call, but I told her that there are going to be people like that all of your life. After that, she seemed to get more cheerful, so that's always good. A happy girlfriend is a lot better than an unhappy one.

I love Sam so much, and I'm glad I was able to meet such a wonderful person. I'm also glad that we both knew going into the relationship that it wouldn't be a sexual one. Sex before marriage (any kind) is not acceptable IMO. I want to save myself for the woman I marry.

I (kinda) talked to her dad tonight. Well, talked to might not be the right words, but we did say hello, and he didn't look like he wanted to kill me. He seems like a great guy, I just wish Sam's mom didn't hate me so much. Well, maybe hate isn't a good word for that. Severe dislike and distrust would be better.

Sometimes I wonder if her mom doesn't like me because she doesn't want to like me. Not to brag on myself, but most adult members of society think that I'm a "pillar and a role model." (I have had someone say those exact words to me.) I guess it's because she wants to protect her little girl, and I respect her for that.

Brandon broke my necklace that Sam got me after the competition.

That's life I guess, but it's going to be a pain to put back together.

Peace,

Beebes

I guess we did do an ok job on the show. We could've done better though. And it's good that you atleast got a hello out to each other. It's a start. Yeah, Sam's dad is a little bit more understanding than her mom, in my opinion. And yea, you're a great role model. Don't let anyone else tell you different.

Oh, and good luck with putting the necklace back together. That is going to be a pain!

Sorry for your troubles, Shaun. Would you like some french fries?

Peace,

Hey Alex, you talked to my dad?

That is really cool, i will formally introduce you to him at the next game! (Just remind me)

Last night, Jenn called the house and since i wasnt there... she talked for a half an hour with my mom. She actually tried to convience her to let us go. My mom said that she is going to try to trust me more and let me go... all because Jenn talked to her. She just doesnt want me to talk about you to her, it makes her angry. So i won't...

Alex, i love you more than words can describe.

Yay Stacey!

I don't know if you should ask my bro out, (I'm highjacking my own thread), he's kinda old fashioned, and he'd be scared.

Ha! You know Alex, if you would have just gone along with "it" you would still have a good necklace.

Dude, you're a pillar? I wouldn't take such slanderous (sp?) remarks sitting down. Stand up for yourself man. J/K dude, you are such a pillar. I just wish their wasn't a big ol' patch of pudding right in the middle... I think it's weakening your base.

Alright, I'll stop being a TOTAL loser now.

Capt. over and out!
