My cousin Jenn did an I wish list, so I thought I'd do one.

-I wish school would go by quicker.
-I wish we could have more 75 degree days

-I wish the next day after that wouldn't be 30 degrees.

-I wish gas wasn't 3.05, i mean seriously im 16. ha

-I wish school started later in the morning.

-I wish I could gain some weight.( Don't hear that too often do ya?)

-I wish there was a canidate I liked (I can't vote, but I still choose people. ha but i really don't like anyone)
-I wish I could bite like normal.

-I wish summer would get here quicker.
-I wish chocolate wasn't so good.

-I wish/hope that I'll be drum major next year.

-I wish i could sleep later in the morning.

- I wish Oklahomas weather wasn't so predictiable.

Update on the 1st place story

We were on the news's website.


Westmoore Band Captures Captions




The Westmoore High School Jaguar Marching Band stole the show Saturday, 6 October, at the University of Central Oklahoma Marching Band Festival. Marching contests are judged in three areas: Music, Visual and General Effect. The Pride of Westmoore got the highest total score in the preliminaries and also won all three Caption awards with high individual scores in Music, Visuals and General Effect.





The rules for judging are on the OKBandMasters.com website and are quite complex. Needless to say, these honors are the results of many hours of practice in the band room each morning, the high school parking lot most afternoons combined with performances at football game half-time shows and participation in other contests.

It was a crazy day in Edmond with sprinkles on and off all afternoon. With a break after the prelims the bands got to re-group and then the rains came. Three bands got to march in finals before the remainder of the show had to be cancelled. We were all soaked to the skin at that point. Safety of the kids is paramount in these events.

The Westmoore Band was awarded the 1997 Sudler Flag of Honor. This is the nation's most prestigious award for high school concert bands. It identifies, recognizes, and honors high school band programs throughout the United States, Canada and Japan that have demonstrated particularly significant high standards of excellence in concert activities over a period of several years. Westmoore High School was one of four high school bands in the entire nation to receive the Sudler Flag of Honor.

The Westmoore Marching Band has received superior ratings at OSSAA State Marching contest for nineteen consecutive years and has been a finalist at the Oklahoma Bandmasters Association Marching Championship for the past eighteen consecutive years. The band received Second Place trophies for Prelims and Finals at the Owasso Invitational Marching contest the previous weekend.

The band is in final preparation for its trip to the Bands of America Super-Regional competition in St Louis, 19-20 October and will pit their skills against fifty other bands from across the country.

See a video of the award winning performance at the Band Booster Website http://www.WestmooreBand.com/RSSUCO.wmv
Got it for Newsok.com

Just a quick post.

I put a new song up and took the playlist off.

I have no idea what it says at the beginning.
haha

But I saw the song on a commercial and wanted it so here it is!

Last night.

Last night I marched in my 1st ever football game.

But it was more than that.

Every year for the past 20 years the 2 high schools in the Moore Public School district (mine) have played football together. We call it Moore War, because it's the Westmoore Jaguars(me) and the Moore Lions (boo).

Well last night was the last Moore war ever because they are building another high school, so you can't really have 3 teams play against each other. So whoever one this game got to keep the trophy forever.

Best game I've ever seen.
4th quarter, 22-20 us 19 seconds left, Moore is at the goal line (or back 2 yard lines, couldn't tell, I was on other side of the field) they throw it and it was so close to being a touchdown, but one of our guys tackled him!!!

So 5 seconds are left and they try it again and miss again!

So WE WIN!!!!!!!

NOPE.

They challenged it. So we had to put 5 more seconds on the clock.

But then WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON!!!! .

So much fun.
