Rock-a-thon

I forgot to tell you guys about my school's annual music program fundraiser. Here's how it goes: We get people to make pleadges to contribute to our music programs. Then, we bring rocking chairs to our school. The day after that we stay at school to rock in out rocking chairs for 6 hours! We get pizza and candy and carbonated drinks like Coca-Cola. It's one of those times you can go absolutly crazy and no one will care. Oh, I have to tell you the best part! Well there's this game we play there every year called Salie says. (sa-lee, a is short, not like sail or sailee) Well, this year Miss Salie had begun teaching band at another school. So one of the parents there said over the microphone, "It's time to play Salie says!" So we're all like thay still call it that? What a joke! So were all about to stand up when we hear, "Now let's play Salie says!!!" And we all turned to look at the door and Miss Salie comes trotting in! (I know it was kindda obvious that that was going to happen but it was awesome anyways) Right then, all the band kids jump up and start clapping, cheering, screaming, or some combination of those. The noise was deafening! After we played the game, all the band kids who had her last year came up to attack her and giver her a hug. I am one of those few lucky enough to see her again at UGA Band Midfest/Clinc. I feel so hapy!!!! Rock-a-thon is nothing until you're acctually there for the first time! You would pay anything to see vids of us being crazy, especially the eigth graders last night. You'll never know.
