LJ Idol // Week 9 // Marching Orders

[serpentpixie]

The competition is divided into three layers:

Squad, squad ‘shun!

The first, Wing.
The second, Region.
The third, Nationals.

Open order, March!

I could, if you asked me, repeat the whole routine -

Right dress!

I will still remember it when I am ninety-nine years old.

(I intend to die skating down the river from Castleford to Ely on my hundredth

5th is better than nothing. Sounds like it might be fun to be involved in, but losing your voice is not fun.

Oh, it was incredible! I'm not being churlish about it at all.
I've added in a line that hopefully makes it clearer that this was the first time for my team in getting so far.

I loved concert band but I hated arching band. I guess that's why I hate going to parades it brings up so many memories. The endless drilling. We marched in the Rose Bowl parade. It was a nightmare.

..... ahhh, sorry, I didn't mean to bring back bad memories!! I actually loved drill practice, but I'm glad I don't have to go through the stress of competing again!

Wow, I love your entries written this way. They're so beautiful, and it makes me want to print them out and put them on my wall.

[serpentpixie]

Oh, I'm really glad you've said that!! All my LJ idol entries are based on a fictional gallery/muesum, and so I DO see them on walls! They belong on walls! :D
Thank you :)

That's awesome. +5 for you there then. Btw, if I were to print them, do you have a font/color you think it/they should be in particularly?

[sweeny_todd]

well done - although sad about not being abkle to shout any more :-(

What a great memory to have. I love that clipped short drill beat. Yay for fifth then anyway!
