Band tour was awesome. Those who aren't in band and those who are but weren't bothered to go are losers.


We played that so many times on tour, but we're still not sick of it :D Some of the year twelves recorded their own version of it but theirs was like 15 seconds slower.

So what did we do on tour? We performed at primary schools, nursing homes, a shopping centre, sat on a bus, watched movies, ate heaps of junk food, played cards, played poker, went shopping and other crap.

The primary schools were awesome. We'd play The Muppet's Show Theme Song as our first song most of the time and for some reason they all though it was The Simpsons. We played Spiderpig (yes, there is actual music for it and everything) and the kids were so awesome when they sung along to it. There was a bit where we demonstrated instruments to them and once when Alison demonstrated her tenor sax, one kid was like "Can you play tennis with it?" And when Shirley demonstrated her alto sax she was playing a song but she didn't know the end to it so then when Alison demonstrated her sax, she finished Shirley's song and was like "And that's the the end to her song."

At the first school (which was also the best school) Mark suggested to the kids getting autographs of the people who went to Beijing in the Millenium Marching Band because they were "almost as good as the athletes" or something. In the end the kids did get their autographs, but then they also started getting everyone's autographs. About 6 kids asked me for my autograph which wasn't too bad. Someone decided to give Shirley spiderpig (a pillow in the shape of a pig) and because of that she suddenly had heaps of kids crowding around her asking for spiderpig's signature so she signed as spiderpig for about twenty kids. She got so excited when one kid finally asked Shirley for her signature, not spiderpig's, that she hugged him but then the kid got really scared and when she finished signing his sheet, he just snatched it off her. You would think the kids were learn from that kid's experience when he asked for Shirley's signature, but they didn't, she had five more people ask her for her autograph.

When we were playing Hydro Golf (where you hit the ball into targets in the water) I some how managed to hit my empty ball basket into the water. I thought the guy who worked there would get pissed but he just laughed.

Seeing as there were like no Asians, we all played "Spot the Asian" and I saw a grand total of 3: one at the first school, one at the last school and one and Maccas on the third day.

There were a lot of awesome times (that I currently can't think of) and not a lot of sleep.

At Youth Group tonight because Deva was the only curry there we told everyone his name was Darren Da-Wei Jackson, he was half-African-American, half-Asian and he was born in North Dakota. They would've believed us if we hadn't been laughing so hard.
