yeah alumni band weekend. quite possibly the best post rally ive seen, well since we have to have post rallies now anyway. instead of just leaving when we were finished with all of our songs we actually stuck around and socialized. got to meet fun alums, and hang out and have fun with fellow section members, without being in a rehearsal or performance situation. despite the tremendous success of the toga, i still dont feel like i get to just hang out and chill with other trumpets and much as id like to. thats why im always grateful for elise taking the initiative where i dont, and organizing dinners out and such. and when fall break comes around and weve got about five free days...woohoo, watch out!

so anyway, post rally again. got beer poured on my head and cans shoved in my hand. ended up just carrying around and unopened can of beer to keep marina satisfied that real trumpets dont count past two. beyond the obnoxious requests to drink more, marina had some real gems of advice. like a girl should always remain in control, even if it means having to fake drinking a beer. after post rally, erin elyse zodda kelly moiani and i went to subway for yummy yummy food. then caruso stopped by for a little while, and cieslak came to sit with us too.

then once we washed the beer out, we all showed up for midnight drummers circle. our own little trumpet section with chants and cheers and songs and dancing! weeeeee.

saturday was cool when we praticed and performed with the alumni band. just hearing them pick up the tempo about twenty notches as they marched on the field, theyre so excited. it was a lot of pressure to have to trot out right in front of them too. when we did pregame in loftus that morning, i was wearing my "hold me im a fermata" shirt and some alums even took a picture of that. two girls stopped me in the dining hall to ask where i got it. but only one person actually gave me a hug, that was slease. i hear soemone else at the rehearsal had a shirt that said "blow me i'm a trumpet"

yeah
