Band Camp

band camp Chp 3

I saw in his hand his trumpet. Crap! I thought. "um one second I said to Jersey and quickly turned back toward the bunk house. I jogged/ran to the space between mine and Staceys bed where I had set my bari sax case so it was kind of a bed side table and a whole bunch of crap on it. I threw all the stuff onto Stacey's bed, and lugged it onto my bed and put it together. I looked at the time and saw I had 4 minutes so I shovved my reed in my mouth and walked out the door. Jersey was still standing There by the nurses cabin.

I smiled at him and said"thanks for waiting" but i had my reed in my mouth so it came out more like "fanks fou wading". embarrassed, I pulled it out of my mouth and looked down at my shoes sheepishly. "um thanks for waiting"i said looking up at him and smileing.

  "no problem." he said, smileing. "ready?" I nodded. We walked up the path to the marching field and we got handed out drill papers and marking chips. Our band major told us to go to pre-game formation. I went to my section leader and he gave me my placement. I was right behind Stacey. We played the first 3 movements out of our 4 movement show, did marching basics, played some stand tunes and mark our first four sets. It was tireing carrying Clarence(my bari) around the whole time. I went to the alto section (where Stacey was) to work on scales. They were discussing what Rubin, who Stacey had been in love with forever, should name his alto.

      "What about Rosie?" their section leader Scott asked. This was a big thing in our band, it was a joke but it was almost mandadory within sections.

     "Why can't it be a guy?" Rubin said this. Everyone looked at him like he was crazy. Guys always named their instruments girls, and girls always named them guy names. Most of us realized that we didn't really know why. It's just how it was. We all looked at Scott.

     He was still just looking at Rubin like he was crazy. "Do you want to blow into a guy?" He said matter of factly. The whole group burst out laughing. Mr. Jones then called to the podium and Sarah, our drum major, dismissed us. I walked back and put Clarence away.When I came out , There was Jersey.
