Merdeka

For the past week I have been in a sort of band camp. My school asked me to go along with them to Kuala Lumpur and be a part of the Medeka day parade. Merdeka is Malaysia's Independence day.Yesterday was Malaysia's 56th Merdeka. I joined the color guards and had the wonderful opportunity to preform right in front of the prime minister and was even on TV. It was an amazing experience and I met so many wonderful people from other schools as well. It was very exhausting though because a lot of the times we would have to be ready by 5 in the morning and practice all day up until around 10 PM. Girls would have blisters, swollen body parts, muscle pain, really bad sunburns, and even a couple of bruises. It was tough, but at the end it was a lot of fun and it was an experience that I will never forget.

The crazy make up we had to wear for the performance
