News and/or Rants!
Hey
everybody!
Jake here to kick off Di's story line... Ironic isn't it.. :) Any
way, about band Championships. Pomona got an 84.something. that's
my school. They got first. Di's school, Northglenn, got a 79.54.
These people got 2nd.
Northglenn had a very bad state finals show. The had at least half
a dozen people trip and fall, drop there instrument, etc. I don't
know whether to feel bad for them, or for the other 6 schools that
made it to finals that got under them. One point I have to make is
that one fall raises your score. 6 usually makes your score fall.
A lot. So either they lost enough points to get them first, or the
judges gave them more pity points than we would like to think.
Pomona had a good show by comparison. I personally thought that
the show was uninventive and a cut and paste marching wise of
every single show I have been in since freshman year. They had the
triangle mats from my senior year. Only they had 4 instead of 3.
The name sounded almost identical to the show name last year, only
it was about reflections instead of sound. About 40 members of the
band at one point end up using triangle mirrors as large as a
persons chest in a flashy display. I'll admit they did cool things
with the mirrors. I also will say I saw another band do it only
with diamond shaped mirrors about half the size my junior year at
Regionals in Saint Louis. Also, the other band did not do as much
as Pomona did, or as good either. But still, I saw several of the EXACT
SAME marching moves that I myself did, in my senior
show on top of that. the music sounded similar as well, but It
always does so that is not a problem so much.
Final analysis of the contest: I think a new school, Legacy High
School, should have gotten better than 4th, they were a lot better
to me than either of our 2 schools. They were new and original.
Although, I feel sorry for Northglenn, If they hadn't had their
worst show I've ever seen they would have won. All in all, I think
that there was something going on behind the scenes on this one
that skewed the contest.
As you may have noticed, this is the beginning of Di's turn to do
the script. She is now writing the script. If the comics start to
have a different voice to you, that's normal. Just breathe, and
keep reading. I am having fun taking a break from all the hassles
of writing... (Well you would think so anyway.) You may also
notice a different approach to the look of the comic. That will be
explained in depth later. There is, however, a hint somewhere in
the comic.
Which brings me to the comic. I can say that I despise MS Paint
with a passion reserved mainly for, well, there is nothing that I
can think of at this point that is worse than paint. NOTHING!
Well, enough of that! I would like to say that Mile
High Con 35 is on Friday through Sunday! WOOT! This is the
only con that I go to in a given year. (for now) I will have fun
at it, and I am going to have a pic of Di and I posted on Friday
before we go to the con. about 3ish or so I am thinking. If you
can find us there we will say hi. Anyway,
that is enough of a rant for me for now...
Laters!
