Obnoxious Music Damage

      After five, FIVE, failed attempts to get out of bed today, my first thought was crap. My second thought was ugh, I have to get up {band camp is in two hours}, but more importantly my third thought was new clothes! My mom had taken my brother and me to get some new summer clothes, and I found these amazing little cami's that are sooo adorable. Today, I chose to wear a bright blue lace cami topped by a dark orange one that has exotic looking beads on the top part {so retro modern, and I came up with it all by myself}. If I must say so... it was pretty B.A. I even got two car honks and a wave as I dragged my sore, uncooperative body from band to the library {marching is some pretty intense stuff, let me tell ya}.
     We are learning four new songs, two of which are quite difficult {who knew, musically complex marching band literature exists... I never thought possible}. The flute parts are very abundant actually, so I am quite happy despite the fact that some of the music is so high, I feel like taking drills to my ears {I'm sure all of this is causing significant hearing damage}. My mom can't use hearing loss as a reason for me to turn my music down. So for now, I rock on.
