  Well, today was an early day. I had to be up around 6:00ish in the morn'. Ya' for drumline today. Things are kinda' hard right now without a drum tech. Chris should've stayed..but...he had a good opportunity ahead of him so he took it. It's understandable. But...man does it suck! We worked on the opener today. The battery is playin' with front at the beg. of the show. And the band is just marchin' so it's just drumline playin! It's sooo cool! I had to teach/take over today durin' sectionals. Teachin' is harder when you know the people you are teachin' and they are the same age as you while you're tryin to tell them to do somethin'.
I mean most of them did listen..and that's awesome. We showed each other respect. But sometimes there's always those 1 or 2 people that scare ya about the line. Oh well, hopefully that we'll be cool. I'm not sure though anymore about this whole HS drumline thing. I mean I never quit anything......but honestly....I'm not sure if I'll be marchin with South anymore. Like I'm really considering quitting. I'm havin' such hard times here @ home. I just can't stand it anymore. My parents go at it like crazy...and every night I just sit here wonderin' what it would be like...to have a normal family. Seriously. I dunno...so much to think about... &nbsp; Luv -n- God Bless, * ~ Manda ~ *
