Well... I though about posting a very long time ago about our last event, Mississiniwa, and I never did. Bad, bad me. Well here 'tis:
Friday: My family left our house around... one-ish, went to my dad's old college room mate's house. He's pretty cool, we've been going there on friday for a few years now and it's cool. We played games, ate pizza, drank vault and coke... Good times. We finally went ot bed around 12:30 but guess what? I coudln't get to sleep. Lol, I was finally almost asleep, and their dumb clock went off saying it was two in the morning. Lol, so I sat there thinking and stuff for another hour and i fianlyl well asleep at about 3:30. Woke up the nest morening at 6:30 and...
Saturday: Up, shower, uniform, breakfast, gone away to our event. IT WAS SOOOOO COLD!!! Lol, I dropped my sticks like six times because I coudln't even feel my fingers so hold on the them. When we got done with opening I took my drum off and dropped in on the ground because I coudln't hold it. It was terrible! Lol. Jon found us (Jon is a guy I met at the dance at the Feast. He's real nice) and we talked for a bit, Rach and I got hot chocolate and went walking around... To get Rachael's uniform for 1812 musik. (yes, I meant to spell it with a k! Lol)
We hung around, performed, hung around... performed... lol, our drum solo was really good... That's about it. Oh no it's not! Jon asked me if I wanted to go to the dance with him, I told him maybe. Lol, later I told him no, but I ended up dancing with him anyways. I just didn't wanna be stuck with one person the whole night if I didn't wanna be. Finally we went back to our church that we were staying in and set up our beds... Played basketball a little bit, played chinese freeze tag a little, then Shara, Rachael, Mark and I sat around and ate cookies. Then we added cheeze its and "Elf" (Michael brought it) until bedtime. Something really really funny happened though, Lorne was looking for another shower (there was only one there) and he was running across the floor and he fell into the baptismal!!! Hehe, I wasn't there but just hearing about it, it was sooo funny.
Sunday: This was really the interesting day. We did our normal stuff... Rachael performed with 1812 some. Ruth told us stories and Jon came around and got way into hearing them. Some of them were really funny, lol. Like "The twelve dancing princesses" and they went to a magical land called Wally World and danced in the shoe section, but they never had shoes their size so their dad dind't like them having to buy new ones when theirs were worn out. Lol, and the sea witch in "The Little Mermaid" was named Madonna... It was really funny. Anywho, Terry left me and said "Hannah if I'm not back by 11 start the corp playing" I said ok, and went on listending to the story. At about 11:10 we started playing, everyone yelling and talking at the same time and real annoying, and no one wanting to play (Mark and Shara and Michael were good though, it wasn't their fault) and it was really frusterating. Like I thought we were supposed to go for about an hour, we ended up only for half an hour and then I was like fine, if you don't wanna play anymore we won'y play anymore. So then I went off to the bathroom just to get away from them, lol. Got back and they were still kinda being stupid so I was like "Michael, you wanna go somewhere?" (Michael's the bass drummer) and he's like sure, but we didn't get very far and I was like "I need a hug" and then I cried on him. It was actually really sweet 'cause he just hugged me and let me cry on him. It was like, the whole thing with the kids being brats, Rachael's last event, and my last event as drummer all rolled into one big cry. Lol, and everyone else stood around lookng at me like i was some kinda animal=P
Anywho, we went to closing and Terry said that John (from 1812) was going to come pick up Rachael and I had to lead everyone back. Well I wasn't happy about that because I wanted to drum my last thing, so I went and talked to Rachael and she didn't know anything about it, and said when she figured it out that she wasn't going with them so it made me happy. Lol, Terry hadda run back and get my drum and we finished it out. After, Marissa started crying. That was the end of it! Lol, Rachael started crying, then Michael, me, Stevie, Mark, Jerry, Terry... Lol. Michael cried for a really long time and it was really cute because I said it was my last event playing with the guys and he said "No just me because you don't know about Alex and Lorne" lol (something I said in my scrapbook) During this time, I said "no one cried when Patti left" and everyone laughed (Patti was the old drum major).
Something annoying that happened: Charissa! Omg, she kept on hanging around Jon even though she has a boyfriend and she's a year older than him, she kept on flirting with him. I don't like like him, but I wanted to talk to him because he's pretty cool, but we couldn't lose her and she was being annoying. Lol. I thought, at least, Idk about him. Either way, we talk through email so it's ok.
That finishes my account of Mississiniwa 1812, 2006, Rachael's last performence with the Voyageur's, and my last performence as a drummer, which still makes me sad. I guess we'll all just have to move on and accept the change.
