Danish Festival is over...THANK GOD! I'm really sore from the parade yesterday. We came up with these new horn flashes that we do during our drum cadence and my wrist has officially been thrown out of wack. I've had it in one of those plastic/velcro braces so I don't damage it more. I bought lots of cool stuff...mainly jewelry in the past 2 ( Read more... )

Danish Festival weekend has begun and Greenville is a hustling and bustling town. Everyone has flooded into town to see all the festivities. I went into town to Veterans Park and I bought jewelry. I got 4 bracelets and 3 anklets. One of the anklets is for my grandma because it is red and purple and has a red hat dangling from it (GO RED HAT ( Read more... )

I got to jump into the wonderful world of contact lenses yesterday and I was having some problems. It took me almost 45 minutes to get both lenses in. The second and third time I got them in no problem. I think it was the thought of involutarily poking myself in the eye...in dunno.

So I came home and called my partner to tell him that ( Read more... )

Well, training is over. Today we got to do a lot more lagistical things: planning with our partners, getting our list of freshmen, giving out shirts...stuff like that. Raven and I have a theme planned...ET/Alien/Outerspace type of thing. We are gonna get those deely-boppers to wear and glowsticks and such. Raven and I are gonna have light ( Read more... )

I didn't talk about training day #2 yesterday, so I will before I got for day 3 today. It wasn't much different. We did more activities, but these were the more essential ones, like Team Juggling and 64 Squares. In 64 Squares you have to cross this "swamp" safley to get to the other side by picking the right piece of paper to step on. If the ( Read more... )
