agh, sorry this hasnt updated recently within the opening

i was busy with what else but band

anyways im going to tell my favorite story, the 2 liter story first!

so we're over in terre haute, doing the ISU jazz fest. as we were 7th graders at the time, we were going later and thus got to eat before 8th grade. running to the commons, we all rushed to whatever resturant/convenience store snacks we wanted. i got a bk meal with a HUGE cup (important later). then i look over to where koehler (band director) is laughing and so are the trumpets.

robert (trump.) bought a two liter for his drink.

suddenly we see nolan (trump. & bass) and colton (trump.) go into the convenience store. they come out with five two liters each.

"what? theyre fifty cents!"

suddenly im in there with ten other jazz band members buying this. i say to the clerk "im so sorry for you" and she just kind of nods. by the end of lunch time theyre almost sold out of two liters.

struggling to down both the bk drink and dr. pepper two liter, i notice robert looks like he's about to cry.

"youre all so fucking stupid" he says. we all just laugh and carry on.

koehler comes back (he left to get the 8th grade over before we all bought our stuff) and starts laughing again. as we approach the building with the two liters, koehler tells us to put it in the van and get ready.

later, on the ride back home, we drink them all and beat each other with them.

very fun.
