The Pit Bus Was A Little Too Lit

We’re on our way to a UIL competition trying to quickly do all of our make up and suddenly the radio starts blaring.

The bus that the pit crew was on had its belt break and the bus started flaming; since the 2nd guard bus had the most space we were designated to pit up the crew.

When the bus stopped it was a mad dash to get eyelashes and mascara on, absolute chaos.

Then the pit comes on and they were in the back of the bus with the flag bags and stuff, I was the only guard child completely surrounded by pit members

And they were laughing about how much hair spray and glitter was in the air. This was fabulous

And surprisingly an interesting experience, being a freshman completely surrounded by Junior and Senior Pit crew.
