ok on tuesday i just got back from a week long trip to NYC going through Chicago and Boston and Nigra Falls. This was a marching band trip that was so fun but very long. we had to march in two parades that were really long. one was 5 miles long and it took us 2 hours to march and we played our music 21 times. Boy were our lips sore. I play trumpet and so it got a little hard at the end. The last day it took us 24 hours to get home so we slept on the bus and that was rough. never ever try it. i had a lot of fun and if u ever go to NYC be sure to check out Radio City Music Hall and Times square. Chinatown and Little Italy are also excellent places to go if u r looking for designer knock offs or really good italaln food. there is more i would like to say but ill stop here.
