Welcome to Gaia! ::

We had a competition two days ago and we were all prepared and everything.We practiced it through so many times perfectly,we were sure that it would go well.It was a big competition and we had looked forward to it for so long,we were seeping with joy(We got to ride fancy charter buses!!!)

Well,as we were marching onto the field,we had that air of victory racing through us(I'm sure you've felt it before,or will at some point or another)that the performance was going to be perfect.

We started out two yardlines away than we should've eek .Happy feeling gone.We didn't even make it to finals.

Talk about competition blues,right? crying

Share blues you've had marching at a competition,festival,football game,etc.

We had a contest yesterday. We did a nearly perfect run at rehearsal at our school yesterday morning. We were about to perform, and we were pretty confident, but still nervous (I had never marched in a college stadium or on artificial turf. I knew it would be bad from the beginning. We get in a single file line and march onto the fifty yard line before scatter marching to our spot. While we were on the fifty, I forgot which side was Side 2. eek I got my bearings before we started, though. First set of the show, there's a trumpet circle and a woodwind circle, which condense into one line. Two people march backwards into place on either side of me, while I move two steps over thirty two counts. I was dressing the line, when all of a sudden, Jeremy runs into me. I had gone too far to the right and he couldn't see me because he was going backwards. That threw me off. I don't think I got in line at any point in the show. I was almost always about a half step off. It was awful.
