  1. After my long stint in the middle of nowhere, I have returned. Just yesterday at UIL region- I was sitting in the back of the bus, playing Pokemon (we're trying to bring it back), and there was a loud chorus of "Do Yo Chain Hang Low?" going on in the background. Suddenly, the voices stopped, and someone went "Daaaang!" and pointed to our immediate left. Not 4 feet from us, separated by 2 double paned bus windows, was a bus filled with Crocket's colorguard. Being high school guys on an all guy bus (our busses are separated by gender, thanks to our tuba leader freshman year), there was gawking, and finally, someone got the brains to dare me to throw them my number. We found someones stand tunes from middle school night, and I grabbed one, I think it was Land of 1000 dances. Someone found a red pen under a seat, and I got to work. In about 5 different places, I scribbled my cell phone number on the paper, and got my friend to fold it into a paper air plane. Instead of throwing it (supplies were limited, we could only make one), I yelled to one of the girls on the bus and handed over the "message". She was immediately swarmed by a dozen other girls (I must have been looking good for once), and they started asking questions. "Is this your number? Really?" I said yes, and went back to my Pokemon game. Just as they were about to pull off, one of the girls leaned out and asked. "Whats your name?" I told her to make something up for now and I'd tell her later. Before she could say anything, they drove off. I would have never done it if they hadn't dared me to. Story #2- We were in the midst of a 19 hour bus ride home from Winter Park, CO (same year as Ryan's story). My good friend George had a high powered flash light, and by high powered, I mean: You can feel the light on you from accross the bus. We tested that. Once we got done testing that, we found an old peanut butter/chocolate powerbar that was still intact and in the wrapper. We shined the light on the wrapped powerbar for about 5 minutes and then opened it. It wasnt quite melted, but it had the consistency of wet clay/playdough. We made sculptures. If you want more details, PM me or find me on AIM (im great at sax). The story gets better, but I'm afraid to put it on.
  2. Very nice job. All State?
  3. Our saxophone is the most talented, yet least unified group. We have One All-Stater (yours truly), and the rest of the varsity sax section made region band. Can't say that about any other section.
  4. There was this great alto solo going on and all the band was facing him and then he stopped and you here from the speakers up front, "Do the chickens have large talons?" Then they hit a beautiful power chord. grrrrrrrrreat
  5. I wasnt able to sleep friday night because I was looking forward to this so much. I hyped myself up, I made my predictions about who was going to make finals and all this stuff. I was completely blown away by everyone. Just a few Comments: Roma: Why didn't you perform your exhibition? Ronald Reagan: Do the chickens have large talons? Brazoswood: Your musicality was better than incredible. Marcus: Whyyyyyy was your colorguard in character during the announcements? It was really funny though. Great musical selection I got shivers just hearing what you were about to play. The Woodlands: Cute. Bowie: Wow!
  6. Round Rock also won the Music - 98.5 (WOW!) Congrats to everyone. Good job Cedar Park - 2 years in a row!
  7. Guidelines for Charter Busses: -The bathroom is for going number one ONLY -The isle is reserved for upper classmen -Bring as many movies as possible -Portable DVD players are a necessity when Disney movies are being played through the TV system -Not everybody can change at one -Axe is NOT a deoderant feel free to add!
  8. Save, My Documents.
  9. On the way to Colorado one year, my sister counted the licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop. The answer to the ever present question: 617
  10. Drew, they might have been looking for a reason to skip. But I'm sure they were supporting us as well.
  11. Oompa Loompa.... Doompady Doo...
  12. No RPGs can beat Chrono Trigger and FF7 hands down.
  13. Im learning Mello just to try and go for corps. Its not that hard really. If you want to march corps just learn a brass. PLUS, it helps get into a college's school of music if you know more instruments.
  14. Mr. P: We're at the beach, listen to the waves of I-35
  15. Congrats to everyone that participated! I was only able to hear a few bands while they were warming up and performances from a distance, but everything was great. An ENORMOUS thank you goes out to the Georgetown HS band for cheering us (CHS) on before our performance. It truly meant a lot that we had your support after our terrible and tragic loss on Friday. Thank you very much. Congrats to all the finalists and to everyone involved! I wish I had been able to watch Creekview and Sacshe, I heard they were phenomenal.
