Performance at the basketball game gone crazy

OK, last night at the High School Basketball game, my baton team performed at the boys half time. Everything was going smoothly when after the second song was almost over, the music shuts off. At this point I was trying to get my tap shoes on and as soon as it happened, I looked over at one of my friends and then I said, "Oh crap!" (I didn't shout it...) So, we kept going with Dawn shouting out counts saying "5, 6, 7, 8!" and us trying to get the timing right, we did our "Peanut butter/Jelly" song and we were getting ready to do "Who Let the Dogs Out?" when the music comes back on. I was so relieved when it came on! So, we did that song and the "Ants" song was just fine until we got back on stage when the music shut off AGAIN! I was like, "Oh my gosh!" Then I was getting ready to shout 5, 6, 7, 8 when We started twirling and I was thinking OK...And so the show went on and we finished. Once we got into the practice room, Dawn told us that it wasn't her fault and it wasn't Jan's fault, it was the Boom box...If it gets over heated, it shuts off and that's what happened. She said if she knew that, she would have used the boom box that we practiced with.

Once I got in the car with my mom, I asked her if she liked it and she did. I then just realized I only dropped the baton 2 times that night...I performed at both the girl's and boy's basketball games. I had a blast doing it though.
