Hey everyone!
So today I am absolutely shocked. You see, last night we had winterguard auditions and there we learned a new flag routine and a new dance routine. After that we performed them in groups. So I thought I did okay in the flag one and then I was practicing for the dance and suddenly I got a callback! Meaning I had a chance of being on the Open guard (a.k.a the varsity of guard) Then we did the dance and I thought I did awesome! Afterwards, we all sat down and my instructors talked to us about the season and what our shows will be. The AA guard's show is called "The Promise of Living" and its supposed to be all pretty and bright coral colors. Then, they talked about the Open guards show. I'm not exactly sure what it's called beside Tornado but it's sort of a symbolism thing. The tornado stands for something in your life that happened so fast and there was nothing you could do about it so the damage is stuck with you forever. But in the end we eventually move on. That's what the show is and after I heard that I was in tears because it completely connected with me. They showed us the music for it (Tornado by Jonsi and The Promise of Living by Aaron C.) I loved Tornado but the Promise of living sounded like a show we did before so I was upset because I thought that I'd hate the show. The next morning also known as today I went over to the cork board outside the band room and what do I see?

I MADE THE OPEN GUARD! Well, me and 2 other freshman but this has been our 4th year of winterguard and we've all improved so much since we were little 6th graders. Anyways I'm so excited for this season! But also terrified because I'm a freshman on the "varsity" team. It's scary and awesome at the same time. There's no words to describe how I feel about this. Happy Thanksgiving guys! My week of happiness is complete! Enjoy yours!
Sincerely,
Tinkerbell
