So, I've been suspened from school (for reasons I won't go into detail...) and the last few practices of Marching Band I had missed. I wanted to go over and watch the band so I could get down anything I had missed. I made sure not to be seen, as I was pretty much tresspassing. (Yeah, I know. It's illegal, but oh well. I've worked for four years to get where I am today. I won't let anything get in my way now.) I took written notes and took pictures and such, staying next to this black "rack", and since I was wearing all black, I blended in well. Well, the band took a break for a bit, and someone appearently saw me They told my music director, G, that I was over there, and he got on the ATV and went out to find me.
He came toward me, and I clung to the side of the rack. He appearently didn't know EXACTLY where I was, as he passed right by me. He was, however, adament in finding me, and turned around. There was a fence behind me, with a cloth over it which made it hard to see to the other side. I took my camera and pencil and tossed them to the other side, forgetting to put the lense cap on and the fact that their was gravel on that side. The camera landed in grass, thank god, and I had to get myself over the fence. Easier said than done, because I have next to no training in wall-climbing techniques. All I know is what I've seen in videos.

So, I grabbed the top of the fence, in a cat-leap position, and flung myself over it, head first. I rolled from that and looked through a hole in the cloth, to find G coming into that OPEN SPACE to P2 of Fence1. So, I lept back to P1, camera in HAND this time, because I didn't want it to hit the rack on the other side. This roll had to be with one hand because of this, and it worked perfectly, strangely enough. I pocketed my camera, and dashed down fence1, past the Dugout, through that gap between Fence2 and the Dugout, to the trees. There was another fence parallel to the trees, 2.4x taller than I. In panic, I didn't think about having plenty of time to scale it. Instead, I grabbed a fence post, jumped up from that high enough to grab the top of the fence, and clambered my way over.
Note, my paper was left at P1, and I had done a lot of training just a few days ago and my legs were KILLING me when I walked.
Now, in a normal situation, I would have been scared to not use both my hands, but I was so much more scared of being caught that I didn't care. And yet the roll worked out perfectly fine. Odd how adrinaline can effect someone, eh?
