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!

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.
