so yeah
I changed it into a new theme. This is all just an effort so my text is more visible and so that it doesn't hurt your eyes when you read it.
Well I have some good news and some bad news.
Let's start witht the good news, since it's a bit more longer.
After a year long band retirement, I returned to my old high school band to play with them for the local town parade. The parade was for the grand opening of the county's largest fair. It was fun. I just kinda 'jumped' into action and all that. My little brother is a member himself (he's band president) and he gave me the march that the band was gonna practice for the parade. Well, I got the march in May. Since it was fairly easy, I practiced it one or two times in June and then tossed it aside. Neh, I thought, it's an easy march. I don't need to go to the practices in July, I said to myself. I know how to march, how not to get off-step and all that. I could memorize it in two days, tops. Cocky me. Before I knew it, it was already August and August 5th was fast approaching! So on Wednesday, I set out to memorize it. On Thursday, I surprised some of my old band friends. They were relieved to see that I was gonna join them since they were having difficulty getting a decent number of kids to march at the parade. Thursday was the official day to show up for practice. Whoever showed up, they were going to be allowed to participate in the parade. Well I did. I expected my marching skills to be forgetten in the nearly two years of no marching. But once I jumped in, I got the feeling of it again and I was another bandie, just like I was when I was a senior. lol!
So Saturday came. I had my music all memorized. We stepped off at 10:30 am-ish. It was fun ^_^. lol. A lot of memories came back, like the cheering of people, the Drum Major's hand and whistle commands. Lol!
The parade was over and we went to the buses to put our stuff away. The best part of going to this particular parade is that we get free admission to the biggest fair in the county. Yayuh!
The fair itself was fun...and exhausting. A lot of walking and a lot of people! It was also very hot. Ugh! lol.
Check out all of these people!
There was some unusual sights too. Such as this deranged mascot.
And some interesting arts by little kindergarteners. They draw way better than me!
An immobile guy. He looked like a statue!
The guy's name was Sam.
There was an arts and crafts expo too. There were these wooden toys. Boy where they fun!! Even if we now have digital toys, these little wooden gadgets grabbed the attention of tons of little kids. Even me! I was hooked!
Random pic of a clown and elephant's behind.
Some street performers
There was also an awards ceremony for all of those who participated in the parade. Yes, we got money for going!
A better view.
The beach was right behind me!
The beach on our way out. It was very pretty that day!
Now, onto the bad news.
Some family that my brother and I know is going to get deported back to Mexico. It's not fair! After 20 years of living here in the U.S., 20 years of working for this great country, they get kicked out for being indocumented. For 20 years, they tried becoming legalized, but lawyers never helped them and instead robbed them thousands of dollars with the promise that they were going to get their papers. This is a family with whom I've eaten from the same table. Only the married couple are indocumented, but their 5 kids are U.S. citizens. However, because they're minors, they're also going to Mexico. I'm sorry but that's just f*****.
