Jazz Band

Most middle schools have a concert band. I'm in the concert band, I play trombone. But now, my band teacher, Mr. L started a Jazz band. By the way, Mr. L is the best band instructor ever! Okay, so I'm in the Jazz band! You didn't really have to audition, but he did cut out a couple people who weren't trying. Its a huge Jazz band. We have five alto saxophones, two tenor, one barri , eight trombones, six trumpets, one acoustic guitar, one electric, two bass, two piano players, one drum set player and two auxiliary players. So, you see it is a big band. We had our first rehearsal yesterday. Sixth graders where in the doorway between the band room and the band locker rooms with their mouths open. You know how satisfying that is?

Bully fish

Okay, Delta died. I have no idea why, but he did. So we got a new fish named Syan. He's a big purple guppy. And he's a bully. Within one day, my first fish, Delray was hiding under the fake rock thing with about half his tail missing. It was probably Syan, but it could have been the filter. Syan's getting all the food because Delray's too scared to come out. I'll give it a few more days, but Syan may have to go. We're gonna take him back to the pet store and get a new, non-aggressive fish.

Delray & Delta

OK, so your probably wondering what what the title means, so I'll tell you. Those are the names of my two new fish. My dad thought up Delray and my sister named the other one. We got Delray on Thursday, and we got Delta today. I have a five gallon tank, so we can only have three guppies, like Delray and Delta. Delray was pretty lonely the first couple days, so they instantly where friend, now they follow each other around. Delray wasn't eating for a couple days. My sister told me i needed to crumple up the flakes more, I did and he ate them. Delray is yellow and green with a big red tail. Delta is purple, yellow and red with a not as big red and yellow tail.

Racoon Fight

Last night, I was in the garage apartment playing video games with my friend Quinn when I heard barking, hissing squealing and my mom shouting "TEEGRA!" Teegra is our dog. He is a big boxer mix. He also has one eye. So, Quinn and I ran down the stairs to the front porch of my house, where we can barely see Teegra battling a raccoon. He was going at it so hard, he didn't come when my mom and I called. He usually does. There was a point in the fight when it sounded like Teegra was dying. He was squealing and moaning. But then he started barking again, so the fight wasn't over. I go over to the side of the porch just in time to see Teegra chasing the raccoon through the bushes. It got away and we don't know if it was rabid or not, but luckily Teegra has had his rabies shot. When we finally got him up on the porch, his muzzle was all bloody and it looked like he had almost had his one good eye slashed out (but luckily after mom cleaned his wounds, we found out it was just blood from another bite). He was OK, and seemed to be very pleased with himself. 

Dodgeball War

Okay, so there is this kid in my school named Thomas. He thinks he's so cool and is mean to everyone else. Also he hates getting beat. So we where playing Dodge Ball and Thomas decides I'm his primary target. So, every ball he gets he throws at me. He got some other people doing it too. Most of the time I dodged it, but he hit me once in a while. We play so you can get back in if you catch a ball and hit someone else. So, I got more people to help me, and in the end it was two teams trying to kill two people. It was fun. Finally Thomas got hit so many times (mostly by me) he said "What the f***" and started crying. He tried to get revenge on me by throwing the basketball as hard as he could at me during recess, making it look like he was passing to me. He missed a lot. He got mad again, so I need to watch my back, because he's going to get me I'm sure. It'll probably not work. OK, gotta go, bye
