It's the first time for Kiley and I to do something for Tag Day(募捐日). We were not sure if we could really raise money by going up to some strangers' houses and asking to make a donation. We sat down on the blue carpeted floor of the band room where everyone was waiting for their name to be called to see which group they were in. Kiley and I looked at each other nervously.
Luckily, Mrs Rupert, our orchestra(管弦乐队) teacher, called both of our names and some other girls' names to bunch us together. Our group stepped out of the band room with an adult who would drive us around the neighborhood. But as another adult handed us sweaters to wear for the day, I didn't want to do that anymore.
"Ewww... it's so ugly!" Kiley commented. "It's huge! Even a dinosaur could fit into this." Indeed, it was a misty gray color with oversized sleeves and a small logo at the top corner for our Robinson Marching Band.
Even so, we forced ourselves into those ugly sweaters and went out to the car. At least we weren't the only ones that looked funny. All of us in the band had to wear our uniforms which looked really uncomfortable.
"OK, girls, here is the neighborhood. You guys will start here and..." I wasn't paying any attention to what the driver was saying and I could tell Kiley was either. We were just looking out to the houses soon we would have to knock on. Butterflies were flying around in my stomach and I wished that they would be gone. Kiley and I got out of the car and took one side of the neighborhood while the other girls took the other. As Kiley and I approached our first house, we were quickly rehearsing(排练) our speech before we knocked.
"OK, you say this and I say that," Kiley said.
"Do you want to start?" I asked. But I could tell Kiley wanted me to start.
I was nervous enough already and Kiley had to literally push me to the doorstep. As my hand reached out, I put a big smile on my face hoping that they would make a donation.
