Band Trip Corpus Christi 2006

Tue, 11 Apr 2006 02:00:51 GMT

The first sign the seniors made for the sophomores.

The second, that I thought was pretty funny.

Then finally, Mallory's sign. It worked quite well, as there was no drama. :D

Conner didn't get to go.

They were throwing rocks at each other.

Jimmy is who he is.

Vicky was reading us Tucker Max. It was like a perverted storytime.

Gene was very relaxed about hearing about butt sex.

Josh got a shitty seat for story time, as we were migrating to the back from further up.

Gene took over for awhile.

Then Kenny had to use Vicky's phone to look up "hymen" on google.

German face and Pazz.

She read us more.

I'm voting for them for best couple.

We played catchphrase excessively loudly.

I think there was some drool there.

There is very little between San Antonio and Corpus.

more catchphrase.

There are three of these on the coast. What are they?

Immediately upon getting to the hotel, everyone changed into swimsuits and ran to the beach. The percussionists also decided to bury Eric Van Laan, as, apparently, he needed buryin'.

The directors wandered up around this point and said "What the... oh my Lord." Then they proceeded to crack up.

Eric has some tig ol' bitties.

He dealt with burial quite well.

There was sand everywhere when he finally dragged himself out.

Drummers frolicking.

Jesus?

Seniors on the pier.

This lady lives in Austin and works with the Roller Derby. I'm pretty intrigued now and plan on attending.

This was taken at 6:15 AM. At that point, I'd already been up for over an hour with Merissa and Kelsey.

Josh had been up for around 26 hours at this point.

this has not been photoshopped. it was honestly that blue.

boys

The bus stopped at a mall in Padre after the competition so we could all eat and there was a two-story carosel with spinning teacups on it. Of course, Jessie, Alex, David V. and I rode it.

Jessie and I took pictures and focused on not puking while the boys spun us wildly.

I wish I was better with photoshop so I could play with this picture.

We took a short breather.

"Reluctantly crouched, at the starting line..."

i love them.

This picture makes me smile so much.

squirrel?

he looks stoned.

blinded.

After the spinning thing of doom, we all decided to sit a little bit. Keaton took this.

Keaton took this.

Pazz took this.

Pazz took this too.

I took this.

The Lexington, as we drove to the aquarium.

Piranha.

Chomp.

Directors.

three stingray pileup.

out by the dolphin show, which was totally lame.

they are adorable.

alex has a lot of hair.

guard girls.

"The best $3.50 I ever spent!"

Sunil got snapped in the face twice by that mask by Vincent.

Jessie contemplating sea critters.

Drum major tatoos. They should get real ones. O.o

Dana in the shark mask.

Jimmy in the shark mask.

Steves in the shark mask.

Me in the shark mask.

hurray drumline. these pictures are all from Pier 99, where we ate and danced. We're a fun band.

the traditional "ari and merissa look cute together" picture.

Tarek has cute glasses.

Those fatties ate Merissa's fish.

I played some game that involved taking shots of sugar or salt. Look at Anthony's face.

Jessie is beautiful.

Totally bleached out Shannon and my neighbor.

my mom said this looked creepy.

percussion².

Total sweethearts.

For old times' sake.

Table dancing?

I fucking love my section. I wouldn't trade any of them for anything.

crop me out and it's a good picture.

OH SIX!!!

seniors and me.

lexington at night.

bones.

more bones.

oh six.

these things kinda freak me out.

some day, i hope to be as cool as her.

i approve.

people digging.

getting ready is work.

Josh was awake for 45 hours straight.

They're cool kids.

The white kid clings to the back of the mexican's plane as she tries to run over the asian on the USS Lexington.

Jessie and I had an adventure.

Big freaking ropes.

that flight deck was entirely too bright.

kids played frackel.

Ronnie drove the boat.

Surfin' in the USA?

Bored before the IMAX movie. What is it with band trips and aquariums and IMAXes?

Vince was entirely too close when he took this.

I have fucked-up fingers.

:)

Ancelet is different.

Check them dogtags.

HAHAH Zach had to run for the bus. We laughed.

Dana got belted in the bathroom.

Garrison donated his belt in a very kindly manner.

Petersen tried to climb into the luggage rack up top. Ms Perry didn't approve.

Pazz hijacked my picture.

Finally we got home.

END.
one hundred and thirty three pictures posted, and that wasn't even all of them. if you know i took one that isn't here, just IM me

Sat, 04 Mar 2006 19:07:54 GMT

I've taken a lot of pictures lately, I've just been too lately to post them.

Last Friday POE and DE took a field trip to Cadence, some engineering firm. It was pretty much an excuse to get out of class.

They only sent us one bus for over 40 kids, and it wasn't even a full bus. It was a cripple bus, so the last 5 rows were gone. We were smushed.

Pensieve.

Matt was sleepy.

Neither of us look good in this. I was being made into an Ari sandwich by KC and Alex at this point on the bus. At least I knew them.

There were Unix computers there, and they had the coolest keyboard ever.

♥

Finally back at school, after school, Ian invited a bunch of us into his office to watch Star Wars kid. He's so weird.

Then Jessie, Kristal, Noah and me went to Cold Stone, where we met Jimmy, Merissa, DJ and Kelsey.

Jimmy insisted on redoing this one a million times.

"I'm a male model!"

Cute.

Around 9 or so, I went over to Kelsey's to play Cranium with Sarah, Selma, Steves, Kelsey, DJ, Michelle and Jimmy.

Sarah and Kelsey were on a team. They didn't do so hot.

Jimmy took this. My nose looks weird.

he took this one too.

and this.

another one.

He looks so happy. We were having a good time owning everyone with our ridiculous pantomime skillz.

Poor Michelle- she was a terrible guesser and DJ kept yelling at her. This picture pretty much sums up the evening.

We look good.

He's a goober.

Jimmy was doing something weird, but I don't remember what.

Is he picking his nose? O.o

I picked up Noah, drove to Jessie's, got in her car, picked up Tarek, and drove to school for the Culture Fair.

She drives fast. hahaha and she gets annoyed if you roll down the windows and stick your head out while she's going 70 on parmer... says it throws off the balance of the car.

SUNIL IS FUCKING SEXXXY

here are a bunch of artsyish pictures of my favorite high school jazz group.

I really really like this one. If anyone could make it look cooler with Photoshop then show me, that'd be great.

I like this one too.

color.

Then we (me, Noah, Jessie, Tarek, Josh, Kristal, and David) went skating. It was very cool, even if there were some 8 year olds that tried to start shit with me and Kristal.

This is terrifying. Why is Josh so scary in all his pictures?

Today I went to Amy's house and picked her up.

IN MY CAR.

HOOK 'EM HORNS!!! 2005 NATIONAL CHAMPS!!!

band halloween party

Fri, 04 Nov 2005 05:02:20 GMT

So last saturday was the band halloween party. It was quite cool. I took a bunch of pictures.
IT IS FIXED

Ashley, Noah the Banana, Alex the Pirate, Michelle and I walked out to the farm to get Ashley and Michelle's lambs to help complete their cowgirl costumes. I'd never been to the farm. I don't really wanna go back.

lambies. they felt like carpet. God did not intend me to come in contact with farm creatures.

Josh was a rock.. thing.

Imaad in his non-costume costume. HILARIOUS.

two girls with some screwed up outfits.

80s flutes.

I was confused as hell as to who Buckley was supposed to be... then he started yelling 'BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!!!' and i proceeded to laugh.

Sam was the Jewish Santa.

guard girls are nerds. :P

Noah the Banana and ~~Lauren~~ Marilyn Monroe

a couple of trombone gangstas. f'real.

Now here are the sock wrestling pictures. (sock wrestling = people rolling around on top of each other trying to yank the other person's socks off. first person to lose both socks loses.)
FIRST MATCH: Jimmy vs. Alex Arnold

this looks pretty gay.

this looks really gay.

Jimmy ended up winning after a one minute break for Alex to yank up his pants (we were getting a full-on crack view... deeply unpleasent. Mallory the Wise saved us all.)

BASS CAPTAIN VS. TENOR CAPTAIN. Stephen vs. Stephen. Bass Stephen won, which led to much yelling about superiority from the basses.

Imaad vs. Derek the Freshman Trombone. Imaad won (clarinets represent)

Hilarious match- Kyle the Hippie Poet vs. Kenny the Irish dude. Kyle won.

Gene the... guy vs. Sean Q., aka QUAILMAN. Gene won. check out his technique:

FOOT SHOT

stretch, gene, stretch!

Next was Connor the Freshman Pit Kid vs. Kevin. I was torn as to who to root for. Kevin had a pretty sweet spin move that he pulled in his defense...

and he ended up winning.

hahaha Vincent vs. Tarek.

Tarek was baffled by the oddness of the situation.

Vincent won, but there was no bad blood.

Superman David vs. Trey Quaildog. hahahahah.

Mallory was an old lady, and somehow it was really cute to see her reffing the sock wrestling. She's a doll.

The Banana Oversees All.

Alicia the Tard Guard (yes, the guard in 93 wore those outfits) and the real guard get down.

Tarek put on Noah's fro... because he doesn't have enough hair already.

Kenny is pretty much more freakin' Irish than you.

Keaton and Alicia in the band hall.

Kelly and Garrison won "Best Most Obviously Thrown Together at the Last Minute" Costume Award.

ahahhahaha i love Josh and Jeff.

There were two girl sock wrestles: Roni and Kristal were one of them. I think Roni won.

Then Vicki and Alicia. I rooted for Vicki.

They had to take multiple breathers due to the extreme viciousness.

Grr... Alex is fierce.

And Keaton is Indiana Jones and actually can use his whip properly.

Two freshmen. I hate Napolean Dynamite.

I was a pirate in a corset (the one Merissa made me buy... she was happy that I finally wore it) and then I stole Keaton's Indiana hat. I thought it was a good mix. :P

Alex was a pirate too, and it was an accident. He did have a scarf and an eye patch on, but he took those off by the end.

As I was standing outside for my ride (license wednesday, bitches!!!) Sean proceeded to ride on the front of a car.

I think Keaton went to whip him, or something...?

THE END.
sorry it was fucked up, y'all.
recomment with valid stuff? :)

homecoming, bitches.

Mon, 17 Oct 2005 00:53:07 GMT

So homecoming was quite great. I got ready, went over to Alex's, took pictures, got in his dad's car, and went to the dance. This was my second homecoming with him, and it was even better than last year. Afterwards, I went to IHOP with Michelle, Jeane, Zach, Alex and Chris.
There was more dancing, more talking, and more memories this year. That was one of the best nights I've ever had.

Name 10 things (in no particular order) that make you happy and tag five others:

{1} band
{2} the blood brothers
{3} bitching about people with ceci
{4} alex.
{5} HOMECOMING.
{6} remembering just how different things used to be and how much better they are now
{7} being in pictures, taking pictures, showing pictures to people
{8} getting all dressed up with my girls and looking gorgeous together
{9} Long road trips
{10} being outside in rainstorms

check out the heels. we've matured since those skechers days in fifth grade. i can't believe i've known them all for so long (except for merissa, but i've known her for two years less than forever)

we (me, alex, chris, michelle, jeane and zach) were walking to the car to go to IHOP and jeane complained about painful shoes. so zach carried her to the car.

we were sooo tired. and this looks like he could be sitting at a bar, recently divorced with no job and his wife taking the kids, holding his beer.

aleckzs is part kitty, didn't you know?

then Chris was dared to put ketchup on a pancake, so jeane hid her eyes and zach helped.

said chris with said pancake.
