Josie and the Locks that Won't Open

People can be so mean sometimes.  I have to admit, this was partially my fault, but still.

In band, I was getting my French Horn from the band lockers after school to take home, and I usually leave the lock unlocked so that it's easier to get out, and then I lock it while school's out.

Apparently someone had switched my lock with someone else, and then relocked it.  Nothing was taken, but why would someone do it?  It's just so rude!  Like I said, it was partially my fault, but I can't help it if I have an impatient grandmother?

I have the CD for Collide.  As far as I'm aware the tracks are:
  1. Love Story by Taylor Swift
  2. The Boys' Flashlight Song (don't know what it's called)
  3. Use Somebody by Kings of Leon (a skit)
  4. Everything by Lighthouse (my skit)
  5. Baby by Eleventh Hour
  6. Baby (the a'capella version) on piano
  7. An instrumental for something, but I don't know what it is.  I recognize it, but since it doesn't have someone singing with it, I don't know.
  8. For some reason, the exact same as #7
  9. I Got You Babe by Sonny and Cher
  10. The instrumental to I Got You Babe

Josie and the Music

Mrs. Behne gave me my All-Region Band music!


In case you didn't know, I made 14th chair French horn.  Unfortunately, that's last chair.  Luckily, I got into the same band that my friend, Gordie did.  He plays trombone.  Unfortunately, I didn't get in with Christopher.  He's in the top band, I'm in the lower band.  But the songs are too easy here!  It's like, "Oh, my gosh!  Mrs. Behne chose harder music than this!"  Not trying to put down the music selecter.  But then again, two of the songs look kinda hard rhythm-wise.


I came up with an awesome idea!  In the spring, what if the orchestra and band joined together for one concert to become one big proffesional sounding orchestra!


But then you face a problem.  Like with Kasiah.


She plays viola and clarinet.  She'd most definitely choose viola over clarinet, but still, some people can't choose!  But, yeah!  You could have people choose which one they want to play and then become one big happy orchestra!  We could play "Flying" from Peter Pan!  In case you haven't heard it, here it is!

Josie and the Frenchies

I got into All-Region Band.


Yeah.  That's it.


In case you haven't read my profile, I play French Horn.


A few months ago, I auditioned for All-City Band but got disqualified because I accidentally had my scales open when I was supposed to use them.  Mr. Clark said that if they didn't have me re-do them with the book closed, then I got disqualified.  So much for that.


Now, I'm in All-Region.  There's fourteen French Horns total.  Guess what place I got?  Fourteenth.


And there were fourteen people in the second round!  A lot of them were worse than me.  Everyone says "At least you got in."  My friend, Cheyenne, the awesomest bookworm ever, didn't get in because she had algae in her trumpet.


How do you get algae in your instrument?  Apparently there was too much spit in it.  Poor Cheyenne.  She's always thought that the person she was before this lifetime played trumpet, which is why it comes so natural.  I don't believe in reincarnation.


I'M SO CONFUSED!  I WAS TALKING ABOUT REGION BAND AND NOW I'M TALKING ABOUT REINCARNATION!  WHAT THE HECK!?!?
