We got straight superiors at festival.
STRAIGHT FUCKING SUPERIORS.
And the deuschbag assholes disqualified us.
You want to know why? There are three judges. Each "requires" an original score of music for each piece. We didn't have some, but we ordered it, and brought in the receipt along with a copy of the piece. But they were like, "Uhh. No. Sorry. BUT OMG YOUR ORCHESTRA WAS PHENOMENAL AND I HAVEN'T HEARD ONE LIKE IT IN EVAR!!1!!"
I am FUCKING PISSED OFF. We did not have one negative comment.
So we get back to the school, and she tells us, and I start crying ... more like, complete breakdown, I had to sit in order to stop my knees from buckling and goddamn my hands for shaking.
We worked our asses clean off. For a second-year orchestra to receive straight superiors—yeah, we kick ass. I want recognition for this group because it is FUCKING BULLSHIT ... I mean, in three years of high school, and this the only time my group has gotten superiors ...
GRR!!

We were completely amazing. This whole situation is ridiculous.
It almost seems like the entire year of freaking out and after school practices was a waste, until I remember that we are incredible. No matter what the Florida Orchestra Association has to say about it.
