Sadness

Yesterday my band director's mother died unexpectedly. Please keep the Davis's in you thoughts and prayers as we enter the holiday season and the Pride gears up for the Tournament of Roses Parade. I don't have much info right now, and I probably won't post it in respect for the family. Thank You For Your Support.

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!

Ok, I know I haven't posted in a very long time. (the last one doesn't really count) To those (*wink*) who have been wondering about Indy, it went extremely well. I was satisfied with all THREE performances. WE MADE IT TO FINALS! That was my goal. We placed 6th overall, which to those who don't know, that is 6th in the nation and I don't care about placings. And some news about the Rose parade. I believe that our personal accounts are now down to $250! With all the work and wonderful donations (thanks Toni!) I am getting close! Ok, now to my real intention for this post...


What I am Thankful For

My family- even though we don't always get along, especially when it comes to my perfect parking place, I know you are always there for me even when I screw up. I can come home and tease my sisters or annoy my parents and get away with it, most of the time. I can also be really grouchy and they still love me! I am thankful for my Mom, Dad, Bri, and Brooklynne, Kymberly, and Memaw.

My Godmother and mentor- I love how we have had a special bond since I was born, you changed my first poopy diaper. It took really guts to do that! I also love how I can go there to hang out every Monday night and watch a very funny sitcom about nerds and then watch the latest Supernatural ep and talk about the recent convention and how much fun you had.Without you I wouldn't have started a blog. I am thankful for CindyRose.

My car- I am spoiled and I got a car for my 16th birthday. It wasn't new, but it was my dream car (Ok, it's not the 67 metallic black Chevy impala, but it is black). My car gets me to and from places, though I have had some scary scenarios in it (stupid people drivers). I am thankful for my 2000 Nissan Sentra.

My house- granted it is not mine, it keeps me dry and my things dry. Alot of people can't say they have a safe place to go to each night but I can. Though the worst storms with lots of thunder and lightning and hail, it keeps me safe. It also keeps me warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Thought the terrible ice storms I was safe. I am thankful for my house.

My cat- What can I say about Angel? She is my best friend. I cuddle with her and I am instantly calmed down by her warm fur and purring. I can also tell her secrets and she won't tell anybody. She does call me when she is hungry and it can get annoying, but I don't care. She does throw up, and it is especially gross when it is in my room. She also protects me from the smallest garder snakes and then places their defeated bodies in my bed. I am thankful for my cat Angel.

The dogs- you make me laugh with your playfulness. your poop is annoying. and when you bark at the slightest noise outside, I am reminded that anyone who wants to harm my family will have to look at their puppydog eyes and be deterred by their wagging tails. The big dog outside though, watch out, she'll tear you apart! I am thankful for my dogs.

Food- ahh delectable food. you are both a curse and a blessing. I am thankful for my food.

Water- I am definately thankful for water, especially in the hot OK summers. You also quench my thirst at Pride. I am thankful for my water.

Pride- Pride has taught me alot about myself, I have learned manners and how to make friends. also, I can march very well. I am busy after school playing my instrument in the band instead of drugs or other unimaginable things. I am thankful for the Broken Arrow Pride Marching Band.

There are so many other things I am thankful for, and if I listed everything, you would be here forever.

Take a little time this week and go over what you are thankful for! Praise God for everything!

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!

YAY!!!

I got to see Morris H.S. Band perform tonight! They were amazing. They are performing in a contest at Glenpool hs Saturday at 10:45am and I think I want to go. I met some friends (mostly sax and 1 vibraphone player) and I want to support them in this contest. If I don't make it, I want to give a standing ovation to every member in that band. They were great! Oh another thing, if you live close enough to get either the Tulsa World or the BA Daily Ledger, keep an eye out for a pic of both bands mingled with each other on the field.

Their show was based on some Beatles hits. I am not that familiar with the Beatles music, yet I still like them (how does that work?). Oh and another thing, in the DL Cale Fulps, BA's senior quarterback, writes an article about the previous game and what he thinks they will do in the next. BA Pride is going to have a band member each week do the same thing. I want to write an article for the paper! That would be soooooooo cool!!!!!! I think I already know what I am going to write about. At Owasso, a Jenks band member (girl) came up to congratulate me and she told me that we were very inspiring! I was too tired to fully understand that Saturday night, but I know now. I want to write about that and how Pride has changed my life for the better. YAY PRIDE!!!!!

I got all my math homework done at school today. I am excited. I listened to notes and did my homework correctly! I didn't finish it all in math class, but I finished it in English, the next hour, because I got kicked off the computer. I was doing my assignment that is due on Monday and another Pride member asked if she could use my computer because she needed to finish the assignment due today. I grumbly agreed and since I couldn't print, I couldn't write the rest of my assignment today. I didn't really mind, I was almost done, but I wished I could've gotten it done today. I did my math instead.

BTW, did you know that humans that don't own cats have a bigger (30-40%) chance of dying from cardiovascular disease and strokes than cat owners (The Age of Anxiety NPG)? Cats help reduce stress. I little somtin' I learned from my research in English class.

It is late and I have a long day tomorrow so goodnight!

Owasso Invitational

Ok, by request I am doing a non-football post.

The Pride went to the Owasso Invitational this past Saturday. We had a great couple of performances and we won. Class 6a champ in prelims, and grand champions in finals. Union came at second and Jenks in third. Our score was a 86.35 which is really good for a first contest. Union's score... 79.somethin'
Well, I am tired. I had a long weekend.

good news. A band at Owasso ( I think Morrison) wants to donate 400$ to our Rose Parade trip. That is simply amazing. They are a small band and don't have as much resources as we do. They want to come perform for us on Thursday night before our rehearsal. I can't wait! I love supporting other bands especially when it could very well be the highlight of their season performing for us. I can't wait!

Ok, I really am tired so I am going to bed. TTUL8r

4th Game 4-0

So the title explains it all. BA slaughtered Sapulpa 53-0. yes, you heard it. 53 to zipppppp. We also played mostly sophomores after 35. I give 2 thumbs up to the team!

The pre-game show. Not so great. We had a major musical tear in part one. The drumline came in a whole count too early which threw the whole band off because we listen to them for pulse. I got out of step until a hold and then I was back. Other than that, we had a good run. We played bits and pieces of our show RUN(a)WAY during quarter changes and such, we filled the entire (small) stadium and the sound echoed 3 times (?) everytime we ran them. They were like mini musical rehearsals apparently.

After the game I stopped by QT and got a 44 oz. DP, ( which was amazing, I needed the carbonation buzz) a blue gatorade for tomorrow's practice before contest(!), and 1 chicken tacito and 1 spicy pepperjack cheese tacito. I walked in with $5 (which was blue because I colored my chapstick with blue sharpie and it rubbed off in my pocket) and my total was $4.98. Are my math calculations great or what?!

Owasso Invitational tomorrow(our first contest!)! We get to be there really early and come back after 1 am. LONG DAY. I have to get up at 6.00, like normal, to get ready and have Mom drop me off at 7.30 . I am going to bed right now so I can get some sleepy eye.

Good Night and Sweet Dreams!

3rd Football game

again, our guys did awesome! We won 24-24(?). I think that was the score. The other band was soooo much fun to watch. Their style was more like the movie Drumline. I love that style, they look like they are having fun. After our show was done (btw it was the best this season yet) the announcer said...

"You may be goin' to the Rose Bowl, but welcome to the Soul Bowl!"

Yeah, it was fun. Not much to say today.

Bye Bye for now!

Seale

2nd Football Game

The second football game was much better! We won against Owasso 24-14. Pretty Awesome!

Halftime show was amazing. We got the official invitation to the Tournament of Roses Parade from the President. ( I am having trouble typing my fingers are not awake yet) The actual show was definately worth watching! Good temp and the DMs didn't mess up for once. Well, I finished Nicolae ( the third book of the Left Behind series) and I am getting ready to go retreat to my room to start Soul Harvest. Bye and leave lots of comments!

First Football Game

Football game was...awesome!!!! Of course the opponent was our biggest rival, Union. The band did great I could not here much of the music because of crowd noise, but it looked cool. Speaking of Band, we have our show title for this year

RUN (a)WAY

I think it's cool. Now back to the game, our football team played the best game I have ever seen out of them. YOU GUYS ROCK!!! GOOD JOB!!!!!

We scored a touchdown early in the first quarter and it just went uphill from there. We were sooooo excited at the end, the students ran onto the field with 21 secs. and the principal and police and people were trying to get them to go back. But they wanted to go onto the field, you know why?


WE WON AGAINST UNION!!!!!!!!! 24-9. It took us 18 years (yes 18!) and 22 games to get to this pinnacle moment in BA football. Our football team was awesome, if you ever come across one, wish him well and luck for our next game, OWASSO.

Oh, and now to the halftime show. It was okay, not our best performance in my opinion. Last night at rehearsal we had major issues with tempo and keeping time. The time got really wide tonight, but we held on and finished. Boy was it good to hear the crowd cheer! They cheered when the announcer said " And the 2006 GRAND NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!" and after the announcement of our name and the end of the show. It was fun being in the performance mode. It felt good.

My church was there tonight too! They hold tailgate parties and they set up right next to where the band walks to the stadium, when they saw me they were yelling my name and cheering. I couldn't help but smile.

So this is kind-of a long post. I enjoyed recapping though. I hope my readers had a good time reading (hints why I call them my READERS) :)

I had a good time tonight and I hope everybody else did too!

Goodnight Y'all,
Brittany

p.s. I will have pics later.

Driller's Game!

Hornsby the Mascot was stretching with the team.













The Lighting(my sister's team) was their Dream Team for the game, it was really cool. I got a ball, signed by some players and Hornsby. I also got a hat.

Training

YAY K is back!!!!!

Okay, so now that I have gotten that out of the way, I will start my new post.


After seeing that Tulsa will now be trying to make more non-leash parks, my sisters and I have decided to train the dogs properly now. Sit has been mastered with an occasional treat(they love those!) and we are currently working on Stay and Come. We have been making extreme progress these past 2 days and I am excited!

Wish Holly and Dixie luck as they become good dogs( not that they weren't, just they wouldn't obey).

Goodbye for now!

LIFEGUARDS!

Lifeguards! They are those really tan people at the public pools, you know? Well, if you can guess where I'm going with this 100 points to you.

I went to the public pool today. I saw really hot hot hot lifeguards there! Amazing! Oh yeah, I did a little swimming, went down the slide a few times (once) and watched all the people around me have a good time in the pool. Those lifeguards though, they were fun to watch. I knew one from Pride and another from school, I'm not talking about those. Lifeguards are sooo tan, you just want to watch them blow their whistle at the little kids running around the edge of the pool.

The lifeguards above are a little too tan, but they still are amazing!

brittany

p.s. Pride starts Monday. pray that nobody gets too dehydrated!

I know it has been QUITE Awhile since I have posted, but i hope this makes up for it!

Psalm 151

So this is a poem my mom got for me I think my first year in Pride. If you were/are in marching band, you will find this quite amusing.

My director is my leader,
I shall not want.
He maketh me march up and down
the wet field.

He threatens my soul,
He leadeth me down the street behind horses.

Yea, though I march on the field
of competition,
O will fear no judges, for GOD is with me,
My music and my instrument,
They comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me and serve me
pizza,
Thou anointest my head with a Shako* and
plume.
My spit valve runneth over.

Surely goodness and superior ratings shall follow me
all the days of my band career,
and I will dwell in the band room
forever.

* This was originally saying HAT but since I have a cow when I hear a shako being called a hat, I changed it.

So, did you like it? I have had it posted in my room for a while now and I thought I would share it.

I don't know the original author of this, but if you know who it is, congratulate him or her for me!

Have a good day!

Sorry for the period of time for which I didn't write. i just didn't feel like writing.

New Song Favorite

So tonight was the commencement for the 2008 seniors and it was okay. there are a lot of people going to Broken Arrow High School. Traffic on 81st and Memorial was a nightmare, but I got there and back with no wrecks or road rage. With all that said, I have found a new song favorite!

The Farmer and the Cowman From Oklahoma!

This song is amazing, I love it! I'm trying to put it on the song list above, but I don't know when that will get done. I love Oklahoma!!!!

BTW there was tornadoes Wednesday night at church. That was quite an ordeal. In all my life of going there I have never had that experience of rushing to the preschool with my personal alto saxophone, homework, and a noodle swimming toy. Nothing really happened, but I am thankful that God kept his house safe and the people in it.

I was at graduation tonight I was thinking. I WILL BE A SENIOR NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait to be top dog in the school and Pride!!!!! This year will be amazing with the Rose Bowl Parade Trip, Pride in general(The music is Awesome), and being my senior year! I am going to miss all my classmates, wait... not all of them, just my close friends. Statistics state that I won't keep in touch with my friends, but I will try!

So goodnight to my faithful readers and ?Have sweet dreams!

Dm

apparently I didn't do good enough because I didn't make it. They took a girl that One of the directors likes alot and because they wanted to keep her in Pride. She said if she didn't make Dm she wouldn't so pride. That's opposite of what they said of the clinic of the attitude they are looking for.


i was looking for scholarships and I found a Tupperware one. OBU info for me...

OBU 4,000 per year academic
1,000 per year Falls Creek
500-4,000 per year Fine Arts

Total of 36,000

not bad.

I did good!

DM today!

In about half an hour to forty-five minutes is the DM tryouts! I am so excited! I think I am qualifyed as a leader and I have experiences be a leader. I was the DM of the middle school 6th grade band when I was in 8th grade.n So I am excited and ready to go! wish me luck!

DM

DM= Drum Major

DM is the most challenging yet exciting performer in the Pride of Broken Arrow. I want to be in that position. I attended a DM clininc yesterday and I did very well. I am practicing very hard, and I have aced the mixed-meter part of the audition, and working on the Star Spangled Banner (which is coming along quite well). I have to go through an interview also, and I think I can ace every question they throw at me, it's an interview though.

The audition is Tuesday. I can't wait. I only hope I make it. I pray that I make it.


Wish me luck!

Funny Story

"Alarm sounding" It's 6:10am and I get up for another day of school. Get in the bathroom and turn on the light plus heater. The circuit that it is on runs along with my parents bathroom. I am in there for 20 seconds(I didn't count, but you get the point.) and the circuit breaker breaks the power to my light plus heater and theirs. I get in the shower grumbling to myself, "he (dad) wasn't out of the shower like he normally is and I have to pay for it." I get out of the shower and get ready for school and for breakfast I have the infamous PopTarts (cherry) and I fix lunch. I have been lazy with lunch this week because I keep forgetting my lunchbox in the trunk of my car. My lunch? It was cheerios in a tupperware cup. I was going to buy a big milk and have cereal in the cup for lunch.

Ok, I am ready for school and I don't have trouble driving there even though some of the roads are flooding due to the excessive rains lately. I get there... no one's there. I wait for half and hour to see if anyone would show up. Nobody did. Turns out, no school for Broken Arrow Public School due to spring flooding. I wanted to go. I had to turn in a poetry portfolio I made with my poems to my english teacher today because tomorrow I am not going to be there due to state contest for wind ensemble. I am sitting here typing and realizing I am done for this blog right now and I need to study for the ACT coming up (gasp!) this Saturday. Ok, bye bye.

Give Us This Day- David Maslanka

yay another poem!

Sweet Coming

When I think of music I see my future,
But when I predict my future I see nothing.
I have not created my future,
I only know what I want to do.

Nothing is set in stone right now,
So my future is still changing and morphing.
I may want to be a police officer,
Or maybe I will be an entertainer.
My future is uncertain until it happens.

When I play my music,
I think about where it can bring me.
I create that music,
And I learn from my mistakes.

When I predict my future I see nothing,
Because I have not created my future,
But instead I have prepared for it.

Smartmusic

I love the idea, but the 25+20 dollar cover price is deceiving. SmartMusic requires a very up-to-date computer and those of us running on a 2 or 3 year computer can't run this program. The program looks very cool, but the cost of a new computer altogether is enough to put a black spot on it. I want this program bad and I need it for school(shich sucks because I will be a a total disadvantage from it) because to send in our audition music, it has to be on smartmusic. I don't like this idea anymore.

P.S.
The all-district honor band thing was this weekend. It was soooo boring! the dresses we had to wear were horrible, but funny story. My friend(I shall not mention her name) wore jeans under hers. It was quite amusing. I kept giggling and she kept saying "Shut Up." we had fun amongst ourselves.

P.S.S.
I just made delicious blueberry bread!
