The Time I Had to Learn a Cadence in 5 Minutes

 It’s five minutes before the pep rally and I only know two cadence ,but everyone knows three. They showed me how to do the cadences. Now all I just got to do it perfectly.

It was the day before the pep rally and I just heard what cadences we’re going to do. Tanner said we’re going to do Vampire, Swat Up, and Jig To. I tried to pay attention to the other tenor drummer as he tried to explain it. Time flies too quickly for me to learn. the rest of the day I thought of the cadence. In my mind I told myself that I can do it easy if I don’t let this concur me I can do it of course with some practice.

The next day I forgot about the pep rally for about the third period. When I noticed that I still didn’t know the last cadence, I wondered what will happen if I screw up will I be laughed at, will I be picked on, or will I lose my spot in percussion. Well, this shows us exactly where I am now. I’ve walked up, and from the left side of me I hear the start to our cadences “click… click… click… click bop click bop yet, yet, yet.” The cadence we started with was great and the second one went great to. Here it was Jig To the cadence that I thought would end my chance to be in band. I was nowhere near ready for this cadence. All I could think about was the way I would embarrassed how upset I would be with myself. How would the rest of the percussionist think about me. We started the crowd seemed they were staring down my soul. I thought just remember the cadence. The cadence was over as if it never happened.

We finished the pep rally and hurried back. In the time it took for me to put my tenor drum up I was able to do two of my cadences. Finally, after about five minutes I put my stuff up. I talked to my friends for about 10 minutes. The percussionist waited for a minute after we had talked and I decided to head back to the top of the band hall. I decided to go where I needed to go. Which was the gym. For the next few hours I just stood in one place snaking on a subway sandwich.

I went back to the gym for athletics after eating subway. I got dressed for the game. So I guess the problem in my story was me not being ready. While the theme is to tell me that to do your work and finish what I started, but hay it still worked out for you see the misery I went to not be a total dush.
