16.5 Hours.

Hour -30.
Wake up, Wake up. the alarm goes off but i hate to get up.
I knew that if i stalled though, id be late. That wouldn't be the best example; no not for anyone.
I have to go, to start this long, long day.

Hour 1.
Arrive at Palo Verde begin the parking lot. Set cones down everywhere.
Ensure that people can't get in- we can't afford to lose spots for bus parking. Especially not today.

Hour 3.
Stop for a second, and eat breakfast. Everyone enjoys everyones company- and its a beautiful thing. We're all here for the same reason. Why? Passion.

Hour 4.
Get our cars out of the parking lot so that parents may find parking. Set sound shells up at the top of the pressbox so the 215 doesn't bother the video recording, very important.

Hour 5.
This is where everyone else starts. If we were normal, then we could have slept in and did all the work now. But life's way too short to be normal.

Hour 6.
Assume position of "band guide. "
Here we wait for our band to show up- so we can do just that. Guide them through warmup and performance.

Hour 8.
First bandguiding job. Spring Valley HIgh School
Sit and talk while the band warms up. The band has poor leadership and an awful show.

Hour 10.
Break. Get something to eat and grab our uniforms. I don't get to see you.

Hour 11.
Last bandguiding job. Coronado highschool. They're huge.

Hour 13.
Game time. Time to show who's boss.

Hour 14.
Awards.

Hour 15.
Clean up- I just want to go home.

Hour 16.5
Done.
