The Invasion

The invasion this was pretty good this year. We appeased the masses by playing freebird, it was pretty sweet. I preformed this year with a couple of my friends, we played Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd, Fix You by Coldplay, and Don't Let Me Down by the Beatles. Don't Let Me down was easily our best song, Chris Estep and Schyuler Swartwood were singing and did an exceptional job at it, I played guitar, Evan Alexander was on Drums, and Cody Redfield was slapping tha Bass. I Hadn't eaten all did up until only thirty minutes before we preformed so I was starving which made my hands shake from lack of sugar. This did not help considering I was also nervous so I was Shaking like a madman. But it turned out okay, I would put our preformance at a 6/10 still enjoyable but needed a lot more practice than what we did. At the end of the Invasion all the preforming senoirs and teachers played freebird since it has been requested every year of the Invasions existance. That was a great preformance with Tom Horton on lead guitar who did an exceptinal job at the slide and solo. Since I've been to the invasion every year I've been in highschool and can confidently say it was one of the better ones. At no time did i feel that a band was playing to long or was boring.

The Hunger Games as a Whole

I have now finished all three books of the hunger games. I personally thought it was good series, it did get me back into reading for fun. I thought the second book was a little weak but the first and third books were exceptional. They both were paced well throughout the whole book for the most part and had fairly good plot twists and such. The third book ended how I wanted so thats good but I still am questioning how are they are going to make the other books into movies. While the first book did have some violence in it, it could easily be skipped over or made into a more appropriate alternitive. while this was possible in the first book I don't see it happening in the third. At some parts in the third book it has the same amount of violence as the beginning of Saving Private Ryan. So I don't know how they are going to pull it off. But overall i would rate this book series a 7.5/10. Right now I am looking for another book or book series to read. So If any reads this and has some suggestions put the in the comments.
