Well, it's been awhile since I've been on here. Life as a high school student can get crazy busy. So, I'm just going to recap how my year has been going so far.
This year I made parade captain of the color guard team along with Katie!(: It's been really fun as a captain. True, it is more responsibility but that's totally fine with me. I think that the perfect captain would be helpful, nice and someone who is dedicated. I'm no where near perfect, but that's how I act as a captain. ^.....
December of 2011 I finally got my drivers permit! (YAY!) It makes me feel more 16 now that I can drive behind the wheel. I can actually get my license any day now if I want to. But just because I can get my license doesn't mean I can act all goofy behind the wheel. I reallllly can't stand it when people are distracted while they're driving. I could go on and on and on about that topic, but I won't. I'll save that for another post later.
Along with being the color guard captain, the NPHS marching band got to perform at the Indy 500 this year!!!!!!!!!! :D It was my second time performing there, and I feel really, truly blessed. It was miserably hot, but I am so thankful for having the opportunity to perform twice there.
Speaking of marching band, we got a new band director this year. I was really sad when we found out that Mr. Belsaas was leaving. Honestly, I cried a lot! I'm even getting teary eyed just thinking about it. I know it might seem strange for a teenager to cry about a teacher retiring, but he's been my teacher since 6th grade. I never imagined being a junior or senior in high school band without him. He was like a second father to us kids because of the many things he would do for us. He checked our grades and made sure we were keeping up with our schoolwork. He would laugh and make funny jokes with us, and he would listen if we needed someone to talk to. He really was the best teacher I had by far. But I like our new band director this year. She just got out of college at IU, and performed at the Super Bowl with Madonna. Talk about amazing!
Soooooo, that's all I have for now. :)
