Today. Today I went to Schlitterbahn for a band contest with high school band. The contest itself was at a high school.
Once we got there Plard told us to put together our instruments, but don't make a sound.
The whole contest was running late, so we were just sitting there. Well, everyone else was sitting except for Nikki, Chris, BoyMollypop, and I. Okay, I think that BoyMollypop deserves his own name now. Um... Scott. SCOTT!!!!! Um... wait, no, that's the used-to-be Skandar... OH, YEAH! His part in the musical... um... the dad-guy of the kids in the Sound of Music... Captain. Yeah, Captiain. So, anyway, Chris, Nikki, Captain, and I were having a random and entertaining conversation. Mainly about different schools and our opinions on them. Which sounds boring, but it wasn't. After finding out that I went to marching band camp, Captain randomly yelled "SET" at me. None of you excpet Jestar would get that. But it was funny. And I didn't, by the way. I would've gotten too many stares.
Hmm... it was also amusing to watch Nikki teach Captain how to hold a trombone and watch him at an attempt to pretend to play it.
"Hmm... um, how do you unlock the slide? Oh, there... How do you hold this? Okay... Haha, look..." *slides slide back and forth* "This is fun." *slides slide clear off the trombone* "oops." *Nikki and I crack up* "How do you put this back?" *hastily rams the slide to the trombone* "Oh, no, that's backwards. It goes this way. I am sorry. I never did that."
Anyway, fast forward about fifteen minutes and we are practicing in the practice room.
Another fifteen minutes, we're on stage.
We bombed it. I don't think Plard still should've let Jeff play the duet with Polly, cause it's the same notes and Jeff doesn't even know the music. And Jack failed. Afterwards I told him, "You better go run, Plard's going to be so mad at you."
We get to Schlitterbahn and... Nikki wants to 'hang out' with Plard, so him, Nikki, about five more high school boys, and I went to wait in line on the tram to get to the other section of the park. We waited for about thirty minutes. Finally we got on and met up with Polly, Clark, Coal, and Captain.
Our first stop was the river thing with innertubes. I haven't swum in about a year, so I forgot how good water feels. Then Nikki and I went on a two-person waterslide, which was fun. The back to the river. Where I find who else, but my cousin, Acer.
After a couple of hours we went back to the other part of Schlitterbahn. Nikki and I went with Mr. Clark and we went on water stuff... but there was this AWESOME one where it was a river and it would randomly send you down steep hills... and the second time the lifeguard PURPOSEFULLY spun me around so that I went down the two biggest hills BACKWARDS.
"What? Backwards? BACKWARDS??"
*I'm already halfway down the first hill, the lifeguard is enjoying the terror he put me through*
We went on that three times.
Mr. Clark is so much like Tyler. For instance, he attempted throwing an innertube over a tree branch.
The band didn't win anything. Or course. I didn't expect us to.
Everyone was tired on the way home. Scar-bro was so desperate for rest he completely slumped over his chair in a horizontal position on the equipment. That was no doubt the most uncomfortable position I've ever seen. It was hilarious.
So by the time we got back everyone was tired and Plard was grumpy. Yep. Fun stuff.
