I'm so dead. Stupid train.
Yesserday was state concert band competition in Lima. Lima, which is not anywhere near Sandusky. At all. We go. Bus ride there is boring until we get food. After food, Heather and I start talking, and she actually listens for a change. The whole way from food to the high school place thingy. We play. It's, like, the best we've played our music ever, We go to sight reading. We make a few minor mistakes, which the jusdge points out. Considering that the sight reading judge's job is rip you to shreds, we thought we did good. Especially because for a large part of a song, there're about 5 independent rythms running, not counting the melody. We hit them all right away.
We change back to normal clothes. O already found out our ratings and such by his inhuman band director powers of information getting. I, II, and III on the floor, III in sight reading. I don't get it either. I can see getting a II in sight reading, I can see getting a II on the floor, but IIIs? No. We did not deserve IIIs. Especially considering one of the floor judges gave us a I. How can two people listening to the same music have such different opinions of how well it was played? (They might have differing opinions on the music itself, but they shouldn't about how it was played, to that degree...)
Then we find out that Wind (the better band) got a II overall as well. Which makes absolutely no sense, because they totally rocked and are, like, the only high school band in existance that I think could pull off Jupiter, if they were to play it. The f**kin' kicked a**!
And then on the way home, as I'm talking with Heather even more, we have an unscheduled rest stop, and get stuck by a sllllllooooooowwwwww moving train. We were supposed to be home around 11:15 last night. We got back today. I got home at about 12:30, and had to wake up at 6:30 to be at school by 7 to go take a standardized test of some sort that I can never remember the name of. I took the Geom. test. It was easy. Unfortunateyly, I was very tired, and didn't want to be awake, let alone taking hte test. But it was easy, and I did well. So feh.
