I Never Titled This... So.... Hi

Hi hi hi hi hi!

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Part 1: Band Concert!

Band concerts... well, they're usually long, boring, music-filled (you could've guessed that one), and full of surprises.
This one was no exception.
So starts off with me having to lug the Yeti from my car into the school. (For those of you who don't know, I play contra alto clarinet. Which is VEERRYY heavy!) So we set up to warm up, and I can't see my music because it's in my lap and I can't look down because then I can't play. And all I could think while we were warming up was the following: should I have washed the snake off my arm? I admit that I spent one entire class period, and then another, drawing a snake on my arm. And I'm probably going to spend another hour on it tonight. But for a formal concert? And then I saw that Lexi had a shamrock on her hand, so I calmed down substantially. Yeah.
So then we got to go sit down in the audience and watch the other bands perform. Which was fun after I stopped holding Yeti. My sister performed, and I could actually hear her because the other base clarinetist's intsrument broke during the concert. OH MY COOKIES! IT BROKE! But then Mel got a solo, so I was alright with it.
Sorry Drake!
Whilst a quartet of french horns were playing, I went up on stage and played three songs.
First song- The Tempest by Robert W. Smith
You probably don't care who he is. But he wrote the piece "Linus and Lucy"! So we're playing, and suddenly...
                   BAM!
I had a solo?
No one but me played this one part. So I had a solo. Yay?

Then we played the less awesome "Flutes Espana" (which we all called "elevator music.)

AND THEN!!!
AND THEN AND THEN AND THEN!

WE PLAYED (insert drumroll here...)


HARRY POTTER!

and it went well!

and then we were forced to sit there for two hours! (okay, 45 minutes... but hey! Try holding an instrument as tall as you are in your lap for forty five minutes!)

Part 2: Paperclips and Their Abilities.
We all know that paperclips are excellent at holding papers together, and picking locks. But did you know how easy it is to make them into rings? Because that's seriously all I've been doing lately! It's amazing!

I have to go hide from the partying that is about to ensue... so bye!

LOVE YA!
