...Alright, FINE! I'll go again! But this is the last time I post three consecutive times! It has to be someone different next time! TONI! MICHELLE! HANNAH! ...APPARENTLY DANNY! Come on, guys! Help a brothah out!
So yesterday (Saturday, February 20th), Hellgate High School hosted a "Haiti Benefit Concert" and let me just say right now, it was one of the most EPIC things that has ever happened to me. EVAR!
We had several bands that were going to play for us that night- for free- and we ended up raising $1,500 for Haiti. It started at 7 and at first it was kind of slow; although we had a pretty good turn out, people were sitting on the bleachers and not really getting into it. Around 9, the lameos filtered out and we switched to a loud-mouth brass band (For all the non-jazzy cats out there... that's a good thing!) and that's when it became incredibly awesome.
I kid you not, I have NEVER danced like that EVER! It was freaking AWESOME! Everyone was just getting into it and not caring what they looked like and causing a hullabalooza and what not. Best. Night. Ever. ...Again. (I say that a lot... but I mean it! That goes on the list of good nights.)
You want a good time? Befriend a couple of band students! I guarantee you'll have fun! (Although I will warn you... non-band type students sometimes get a little overwhelmed... because we nerd-type bands students REALLY get into the music! Like, hardcore, yo!)
In conclusion, I LOVE BAND GEEKS! (Also, Kung-Fu Congress... look them up. They're freaking BEASTS!)
Hope you're all well, happy, and surrounded by as many nerds as possible!
Love, Shannon
