No, I'm Not Dead . . .

. . . I'm just lazy!

But anyway . . .

Yes, the last time I updated was April. Yes, I've been aware of that ever since.

But it's summer!

Well, it was, but it'll slice a little starting tomorrow. Tomorrow: First color guard practice. At the instructor's house.

The 6-foot flag I have to bring (that I've had since they gave it to me when I attended a practice after school) is HEAVY, man. Not as heavy as when I started using it a few months back; but still, heavier than my original practice flag. But hey, I'm not complaining; I LOVE the flag - it has a GORGEOUS design - and we have 10-foot flags, as well. (Is unaware if we're even using them this year.)

Our theme? "Russian Symphonic Essense."

. . .  No, I have no idea what that means.

But hey, our theme last year was "The Music of Led Zeppelin," and that show was AWESOME. I have faith in our Band Director and my captain.

But yes, I'm quite excited. And nervous. And anxious. And terrified.

But I'm sure I won't set anything on fire during a performance.
