This Week's Events

Lately I have been going to something called "mini band camp" which is to help to Freshman and other High-schoolers get ready for marching band in the fall. Basically they teach you how to march and how to do the show and I've found out the hard way that it is a miserable program. Not that it matters because of course its mandatory to go to if you want to be in marching band next year. Luckily it only lasts three days and today was the last day. It's from 6:00pm to 9:00pm and not only is there only one five-minute break but they work you SUPER hard. It makes me wonder if they always make you work this hard at mini band camp because it isn't every year that the Millennium Band has the opportunity to go to D.C. Maybe our band director is just trying to make us the best of the best this particular year. Anyways, I almost considered quitting band but I love band so much that THAT didn't seem like a reasonable option.I'm glad I endured the last three hours of mini band camp tonight because now I can enjoy the rest of my summer. Of course though in the middle of July the REAL band camp is starting up and it lasts the WHOLE week. If mini band camp is only a fraction of what the real camp is I don't want to know what the camp in July's going to be like. Oh well... Well, I guess that's all for now but I'll let you know when something else happens. Have an awesome summer!

Happy Summer!

I just ended school last Thursday and already I know its going to be a busy summer! I really want to do a summer blog so I suppose I'll start with telling you about my first day of summer. On Friday after a lazy start Spencer, my mother, and I went swimming in our pool. (It was still cold! Can you believe it?) After that I went over to my friend Brittany's house for a sleepover and that night we had to go sell car wash tickets for the next morning. We even went to different stores to ask the cashiers if they wanted a ticket which was not my idea. Saturday, you guessed it! We woke up at 6:45 and headed off to go scrub cars. We did this to earn money for my future High School band so that we could go to Washington D.C. and play on the white house lawn. The car wash was so LONG! it was from 7:30 to 12:00 and we were washing cars practically non-stop. The rest of the day I think all I did was relax because I was so tired from washing cars. THEN on Sunday my mother and I went to a temple dedication and it was really boring. Still I liked the singing part at the end.

This is a picture of my temple recommend and handkercheif.

After that long time at church we then went to our friend Pearls house and we got to hold her great-grandaughter, Maddie. She was so precious! So today? Today we went to my eye doctor and picked out some new glasses which are much nicer then the ones I have now. Then we came home and made some pizza as well as an orange shake for lunch. We had planned on going to the library but instead I stayed home and threw away / organized my school work. So far I've been pretty busy and I plan on keeping up this blog so make sure to check in often for my latest doings.
