Football games in the band (souped up version)

The crowd is yelling and cheering excitedly, they anticipate many great touchdowns scored today. Some crazy diehard fans paint their faces, while others hold up large, colorful posters. People walk around carrying beverages and snacks, and the smell of soda, nachos, and popcorn lingers in the air. The atmosphere is tense, but energetic. The cool night air is refreshing, as are the numerous swarms of crickets falling upon people and their possessions. The mascots fighting each other are hilarious. The band plays happily and the audience applauds as the teams rush onto the field. However, by the time the night is over only one team shall emerge victorious; the other, with depressed and defeated looks on their faces. The teams rest up for halftime, but for the bands halftime is the most important time because of the halftime show. After halftime the action really starts to heat up. There is: random screaming which causes one to almost go deaf, the opposing bands trying to outdo each other, the crazy mellophones dancing, and the unexpected win!?!?. Of course, the day (more like night) wouldn't be complete without having to return home at almost midnight and still have to finish your homework. This is a typical football game night for the committed marching band student.


This was a English imagery essay based off my previous post. I just added a little here and a lot there and had some help from an ownage friend.
