Music in the Parks

Last Saturday (the 9th) I had Music in The Parks Festival. I arrived at the school with Nicole at 7:00. We boarded the bus and went to Northridge High School for the actual competition. When our choir, Footnotes, arrived, we warmed up for about 10 minutes and then performed right after that. When choir finished, I had to go change into a different dress for Jazz Band. After sitting in the audience waiting to go warm up with Jazz Band for a while, I realized that I didn't have my Jazz music. So I told Mrs. Woolf and we ran out to the bus and got it. The Jazz Band performed, and it was so much fun! I love playing on grand pianos, and luckily, that's what they gave me! After playing in the Jazz Band, I sat in the audience again, eagerly awaiting to hear our Wind Symphony. The time came when there was only one band left before Wind Symphony. They came on stage, and their band was surprisingly small. By the time they played their first note, we knew what kind of a band they were. And that kind wasn't exactly the good kind. After we survived through three of their songs, Wind Symphony came on stage. They started out strong and it just kept getting better and better! After listening to Wind Symphony, we changed into shorts and t-shirts. I was jumping around like crazy, celebrating that I could move again. Dresses and high heels are very restricting. We finally boarded the bus and set off for Lagoon, ready for almost ten hours of amusement park rides! I started out with Tanner and a bunch of other people, but they wanted to go on Wicked, whereas Tanner and I did not, so we quietly slipped away and went a different direction. The first ride we went on was Rattlesnake Rapids. There was a guy with his daughter and two sons on our raft. His two boys were jumping around the whole time and practically climbing on top of us. It was a little annoying. After cleaning all of the footprints off of our clothes, we went to the Log Flume. We were still pretty far back in line when the lady in charge of the ride asked if anybody had a group of two. We told her that we did, and we got to skip basically the whole line!
Sorry, I have to go to school now, I'll continue this story tomorrow.
