What is this liquid falling from the sky?!?

So it rained Friday!!!! Finally!!! Thank you, Lord!

Not to complain or anything-but the sky decided to open up during the football game...lovely. In case some of you don't know, the woodwind instruments (saxes, flutes, clarinets) can easily be totally ruined by rain-and if not that extreme it can cause hundreds of dollars of damage. Needless to say, everyone in the band was nervous.

For the first two quarters, there was just a few drops here and there---and then they detected lightning. So mass chaos erupted as the football teams, the band, and all of the fans evacuated the stadium at the same time. Ah-the joys of being a drum major. So that was the first "emergency" of the night. (P.S. the football game was cancelled in case anyone was wondering.)

As we were walking to the gym for shelter, one of the band students found out that her little brother had gotten into a fight with someone at the football game. The other kid slammed her brother into the ground and he couldn't move or breathe. Another emergency. But our band student couldn't leave with the ambulance since they only allowed one person to travel with them. So she was worried the rest of the night and that was slightly hectic. But I will commend my band-we all laid hands on Kelly in place of her brother and prayed for him. :) It was amazing. The whole band! We later found out that instead of the expected broken neck, he just has a few pulled ligaments and torn muscles. He'll be ok. God answers the prayers of His children!

Emergency #3: Another one of our band students is deathly afraid of thunderstorms. She has an anxiety attack and didn't have her inhaler with her. This was quickly solved however, when her mother came and picked her up. I still don't know how she is though: they took her to our local fire department who gave her something to basically knock her out until she got to the hospital.

And the last thing of the night was not an emergency-but it just added to all the rest of the chaos. Someone was playing our quad drums and the drum head split. It was crazy! It just tore-right down the middle. But that can be fixed easy with another head.

So all in all, it was a very interesting, hectic night!

And I took my ACT test this morning. It was easy! :D I can't wait to get my results back!
