  1. "I think we should be the marching chorus"  (Wesley T. / Trumpet; Thursday, August 02, 2007)

  2. I loved the across the floor drills to the awful techno music...it got everyone so energized and we were actually on step! Of course, it was "old man" music, but we don't care... (Caitlin M./ Baritone; Saturday August 04, 2007)

  3. Marching band bonding activities!! hats off to Roxanne for planning that, it was a lot of fun!! :)  (Anonymous; Wednesday August 08, 2007)

  4. What an awesome, saxational dinner at Mama Mia's!!! The alto/bari-tenor war was pretty awesome! All I have to say is...guys, you BETTER eat all your pizza!!!  (Anonymous / Alto Saxophone; Wednesday August 08, 2007)

  5. I love how Bailey had to conduct with light-up Ariel in the dark. That was pretty awesome to hear her sing every time we stepped off!  (Anonymous; Wednesday August 08, 2007)

  6. First there was bond...then there was alien, and now........ARIEL! (and we could see the beat...stick with what works...)  (Anonymous / Trumpet; Thursday August 09, 2007)

  7. 1. When talking to a color guard girl I say... "Ya know, I'd have to say you're actually one of the hardest working sections" Color Guard girl says, "Yeah, the problem is we're a minority in the band... gosh I feel like a Mxxxxxxx now!" 2. "You're my special friend!" ~Ariel  3. Its our "Marimba", it's really a xylophone but we call it our Marimba... Its a Marimbaphone!  (Heather J / Pit; Thursday August 09, 2007)

  8. ~"Once everyone has done the wave you can go back to your previous set" --Ray Eddy ~making amazing shapes with the alto saxes (such as the word "SAX" and putting a sax on the wheelchair parking space guy) ~the random Ninja circles ~Catherine's capes she made for the altos ~throwing around balloons after our awesome bonding activities ~the alto sax chinese food party on the last day during lunch where we shared all of the random food we got with everyone and played the fortune cookie game ~Again, saxtional dinners continue to be absolutely amazing...after the alto/t&b war I know that if I were a guy I would DEFINITELY eat all my pizza! I loved the random tube things that made that creepy noise that we got at the dollar store...and Josh is officially now the most awesome freshman ever. If you need proof I've got a pretty sicknasty picture. hahaha.  (Michelle L. / Alto Sax; Saturday August 11, 2007)

  9. Just as an FYI...apparently Ariel is now "Choritta" :) Chuck Norris is still with us.  (Ty :) / Baritone; Saturday August 11, 2007)

Just hanging out as a section in the auditorium during the last day of sectionals. 6. Learning TONS about everyone in the section. 7. Will B. singing the opener to Ray when he couldn't think of how it went.  (Melissa M. / Drumline; Saturday August 11, 2007)

  12. The Full Story As Requested!: 
    The full story behind the Bailey and Ariel episode for those that were not there: It was dark, and we couldn't see Bailey very well because the sun had gone down, when Mr. Rowe found his daughter's light-up Ariel that Bailey could use so everyone could see her. Whenever Bailey accidentally pressed the button talking, she either sang or said "Your my special friend!" We actually used it during a run-though and it actually worked, because even though we couldn't see Bailey's hands, we could see the light up Ariel.  (Anonymous; Thursday August 16, 2007)

  13. I loved it when Ryan was like we all need a comon language....thing is we dont all have the "same" english we spell things weirdly so no two people have the same common language!! and i loved watching the random NINJA circles forms even though they sounded like dieing chickens not ninja(need help to sound like a ninja see the drumline!!)  (Caitlan H. / Trumpet; Saturday August 25, 2007)

  14. I loved the Arlington trip. The bus ride was AMAZING! Dancing on the bus and stopping ranodmly for breakfast is perfection.  (Dawn D / Alto Sax; Monday August 27, 2007)

  15. So we were waiting in the auditorium to see whether or not the football game would be cancelled due to rain, and we were practicing some stand music. Then Mr. Rowe tells us that it is his 16th wedding anneversary, so he tells us to get out Hey Baby. He has Bailey get Roxanne and he goes outside of the auditorium in the back. When Roxanne is in the auditorium, we start playing, and once we start singing Mr. Rowe comes down the aisle with a bouquet of roses for her! It was so cool!  (Heather J. / Pit; Saturday September 15, 2007) - GREAT MESSAGE! Thank you!

  16. "Um, JJ, are you okay??" "Yeah, I'm just looking for bugs" hahaha, we were supposed to be kneeling down and Jonathan had his face three inches off the ground!  (Anonymous / Alto Sax; Thursday September 20, 2007)

  17. "I loved it when p. rowe said you have no more drill to learn! and everyone cheered"!  (caitlan / trumpet; Wednesday September 26, 2007)

  18. No running in the gym after it rains! FYI Western Wake has some fine doctors! Helloooo seatle grace!
