Competition summary.

Time: Erm... Song: To Where you Are By: Josh Groban Mood: Sick. e.e; Who can say for certain Maybe you’re still here I feel you all around me Your memories so clear Deep in the stillness I can hear you speak You’re still an inspiration Can it be That you are mine Forever love And you are watching over me From up above. Chorus: Fly me up to where you are Beyond the distant star I wish upon tonight To see you smile If only for a while To know you’re there A breath away's not far to where you are. Are you gently sleeping Here inside my dream? And isn’t faith believing All power can't be seen As my heart holds you Just one beat away I cherish all you gave me Everyday Cause you are mine Forever love Watching me From up above And I believe That angels breathe and that love will live on And never leave Chorus: Fly me up to where you are Beyond the distant star I wish upon tonight To see you smile If only for a while To know you’re there A breath away's not far to where you are. I know you're there A breath away's not far to where you are I've done it everyone... I've worried and stressed myself sick; literally. I've felt horrible since the day after State Competition and I really keep laughing at myself because I never thought it was possible to worry myself sick. xD Seth: *Heaves and coughs.* Poor dear's sick too... far worse than me though. *Pats Seth's forehead with a washcloth.* Anyway.. in case curiosity has eaten you away yet, here's what all happened on Saturday. I woke up early and headed into the shower to get everything ready. Take in mind that I was up PRETTY damn early considerinf how late I went to bed the night before. I got everything ready that I needed and headed to the school where we warmed up, got presents from Liz (Our instructor) and got on the bus to head for Southwest High School. We got there and found out that SW High school is freakin' huge. We warmed-up, went in for a quick run through... and then entered the hall where we waited to perform. The whole time I stood there... I couldn't keep myself from smiling because I was filled with so much dread, fear and stress. We entered the gym floor and got set to perform. When the music started, I smiled as best as I could and performed the best I have ever performed in my life. At the end, we rushed to grab our flags and rifles and quickly exited the gym floor. Everyone seemed to feel the happiness that we had performed our best yet. We hugged Liz and then dressed into jeans and our guard shirts. We hung about watching random guard shows and sat in the Cafeteria for what seemed like forever. In a sense, I got closer to a lot of the people on the guard and enjoyed hanging with them. Sadly, Maki had to leave.... I missed her; just not her sister. After about 13 hours af being in the school, we got dressed in uniform and headed to line up for retreat. Micheal (The current Colorguard Captain) was attempting to explain to us what "All-state guard member" was and I wasn't getting it at first. Basically, all-state member is an award that given to two of the hardest working guard members of the guard. Micheal said he knew who one of the ones were and when I pointed at Julie (An amazing freshmen who has a talent for colorguard) he nodded. I was beyond happy for her. All 40-something guards lined up and they called out the all-state members. When they got to our school thay called Micheal and then me. I was taken by surprise so much that I hesitated. xD I linked arms with Micheal and walked to the front where we stood. I was really proud of myself and felt so happy that I was recognized for how hard I worked. We placed an overall 14 out of 23 guards or around that number. Hey, at least it wasn't last place... but we kinda got jipped since some of the worst guards placed before us... which is just bull, but at least we weren't place. We went home and I woke up feeling sick the next day and it got kinda worse. u.u;;; Oh well... at least things looked up afterall. Gotta go! Duty calls in this waste-of-time class. Seth: *Whimpers and coughs.* *Holds Seth close and cradles him.* My poor baby! D: Kawaii Seth<3
