Pre-season excitement!

Well, folks, this weekend marks the beginning of the 2010-2011 fencing season for me. I am competing at Leon Auriol in Seattle, WA. This season I will be focusing primarily on foil, and therefore, I will be fencing in the senior women's foil event on saturday. Over the past two months, I've been struggling to understand this crazy sport people call fencing. And during my spare time, I've rewritten the lyrics to a particular holiday song- Spirit of the Season. Enjoy!

It's the spirit of the season
You can feel it anywhere
You can see it, it'll glisten
Shiny, RU, oh it's true, a new bell (guard)
Whatever it is you need to use it
It's the spirit of the season
You can see it everywhere
People run as their strip is called
Their bout will begin soon
Dreams are dancing in their coach's eyes
Fencers yelling, coaches yelling too
It's the spirit of the season
Beeping buzzers fill the air
Clear a pathway for them quickly
It's their lair, there's no care
It stays there
Sabre fencers there's no need to share it
It's the spirit of the season
It's the spirit of the season
Weapons breaking as you rush on by
Lights will fail to glow
Prayers begin for that hopeful sound
Of fencers fencing, boxes beeping too
It's the spirit of the season
Beeping buzzers fill the air
Clear a pathway for them quickly
It's their lair, there's no care
It stays there
Sabre fencers there's no need to share it
It's the spirit of the season
You can hear it anywhere
It's the spirit of the season
You can feel it here and there
