There are not many times when you can go into a gas station to buy a soda for you and your friends, when after a short discussion with the cashier puts this question into your head, "What am i doing at a gas station, at 12:20 in the morning". I think i'm getting ahead of myself though. I'll go back to when this all started . . .
A week or so ago, Mo asked the band who would be willing, if we were able to go pep at the semi finals. Naturally the majority of the band said yes and so Mo made some arrangements for us to be able to. So the day before the game we were all reminded to bring lots of jackets and pillows and money for food. We were also reminded that since the game was at 6:30 we would not be home till about 2-3am, which then didn't seem too bad for most of us. Anyways, Veteran's Day came and when we finished marching in the parade, we returned to the high school to drop off our uniforms and to get on the bus to go up north. Now if you've never been on a bus ride with a bunch of band kids you have not lived. It can get pretty crazy with obnoxous singing, shoes flying, and everyone mooching food off of one another. I love it. This bus trip seemed to go by faster than others and before we knew it we were stopping in Filmore for gas and soda. I think now would be a good time to mention our bus driver. His name was Otto or at least that's what he told us we could call him. Now Otto was probably the coolest bus driver i've ever had. Instead of having us listen to the radio, he had a cd full of songs that we all knew, or at least Carol and Kelby knew. And he was pretty funny and joked with us a bunch. When he had to be replaced at Provo we missed him, but the new guy Vic was pretty cool too. Now the journey from Provo to Salt Lake went by real fast with a lot of slug-bug seeing goodness and Panda buffet eating deliciousness. And then we finally made it to the game.
The game was generally pretty boring. When we arrived we had already scored and the Rabbits were still zero. With a hurried attempt to get ready and all our instruments warmed up we were able to play quite a bit, that is as much as we could without Delta's band trying to play over us. We still had fun though and by the time our team had finished bunny bashing the score was 38-7 a overall domination by the tigers. When the game was finished our band hurried and got all its stuff together so that we could hopefully be home before 3. I don't remember much of the ride home actually. That's probably due to the fact that i was asleep for most of it. I do remember stopping at a gas station and asking the cashier what time it was but after that nothing till we pulled into the high school.
It was a pretty great trip and i'm so stoked for the Finals next week. I'm just hoping the trip will be just as fun as this one, even though i already know its going to be even funner. Yes, funner. I'm so excited.
