a little bit ago we were doing spear throws. Well it was throw it to the person across from you. we all were in a circle. the captains thought that this was a good idea and thought everyone knew to throw it at diffrent hights well one girl didnt and it hit someones flag and ended up hitting me right in my forehead. I got a concussion but I finished the rest of the routine after the toss. They ended up taking that part out.

I'm kind of a clutz but in the last week I did a high toss and when I realized I wasn't gonna catch it I backed up so it could hit the ground. Apparently I didn't back up far enough because it hit the bone under my eye it took a piece of skin off the side of my eye and I've had a black eye from the last week. I also fractured my thumb catching a toss 3 weeks ago now and have yet to go to the docter becasue I refuse to miss practice. Oh and I have a bruise from cradling so much, but thats to be expected. Told you I was a clutz.

Man, I am SUCH a klutz. We were rehearsing the other day with the band and I got tangled in my flag cause it was windy. Such a pathetic excuse, right? So I go to untangle myself while marching and trying to get back in the work at the same time, and the tip of the flagpole smacks my ankle really hard. I then proceed to trip over my other foot (still partly tangled in the flag) and land on my butt. domokun
So there I am, sitting on the field, about to be run over by snare drummers and other guardies, and my ankle is throbbing. gonk So I get up, hobble to the side of the field and sit down again. Nobody notices for a while, but the first person to come see if I'm okay isn't even a guard staff member. It was the girl who helps with the trumpets. rolleyes
What really annoys me about the whole thing is when my director finally notices I'm sitting out and in pain, she comes over and goes:
"Where did you hit yourself?"
"On my ankle."
"Yeah. Where?"
I point to the outside of my ankle.
"Did you hit your tendon?"
confused "I don't know."
"Did you hit your bone?"
gonk "I don't know!"
"Well, I saw you sitting with it propped up, so I'm thinking major damage."
neutral "I just hit it really hard."
"Well, you should probably get back on it. That's usually the best thing when you hit your foot really hard."
Pish. Like that makes any sense. Still, at the same time another girl had jammed her thumb really bad, and I could tell it was a worse injury than mine, seeing as she had her hand in a cooler of ice. So I sucked it up and marched till the end of practice, and when I got home I iced it and propped it up so it wouldn't swell. Which it did, anyway.
God, she is so stupid. Plus, It still hurts, and now it's a lovely green bruise. I hate my director.
Wow, that ended up being a long post. I do that a lot. I need to learn how to shorten my stories.

last year we had so many injuries that our injury list had about 10 people from guard. and at the bottom of the list our band director had his name with the word questionable next to his will be go to finals and then next to his injury it said MENTAL!!!
But one of our guard members was practicing in the field then next thing ya know she has a hole in her foot she stepped on a piece of wood. she couldnt march the competition we had that day! Pinto was furious at the guard.
she has been the wood magnet ever since!

i almost broke my finger. doing ups on rifle hurts a heckuva lot when you reach up for it. bad bad baaaad idea. i did it two days in a row. immobile. bruised. i think if i had done it the third day i would have broken it. ugh. it still is sore (this happened two weeks ago) because it keeps getting bumped and hit by flags and rifles. my right ring finger is a serious incident magnet. ugh. so pained.
...i also have a nasty habit of hitting myself in the face (or others hitting me in the face) with flags and rifles. ugh.
