Marching band is quickly coming to a close and we have been so lucky to have the decently warm weather all season. I can recall the end of last year being bitter cold and full of snow flurries during football games, but this year consisted of only rain. However, there was one day in particular when Mother Nature seemed to be playing tricks on us by conjuring up every type of weather and pelting it at us. It all started on a very mild November day when the temperature was about 70 degrees and the sun was beaming down hard enough to make us sweat. Once practice began, we all noticed that looming in the distance was a giant black cloud slowly creeping through the sky over to us.
Right before the cloud obscured the shining sun, an indescribably beautiful double rainbow appeared perfectly across the entire sky! Everyone was in awe at the sheer excellence of the rainbow, but we were also keeping on the immensely opaque cloud as it overtook the sun’s rays. Almost instantaneously, the rainbow disappeared and the air started to cool rapidly. The wind started to pick up slowly and almost before we could blink, heavy rain drops started pouring onto us. Then, as if things couldn’t get any worse, the wind started blowing more violently and smashed the raindrops into our faces from the side. After about five minutes, the wind started to die down and the cloud continued past us. The sun came out again as if nothing had ever interrupted its presence. Michigan: All four seasons, all year long.
