Seriously.. Where did the time go? I remember going to band camp freshman year. Not knowing what the hell I was doing and acting like a stupid freshman. I remember thinking that it wasn't fair that the upperclassmen always got to cut in the lunch line and that the freshmen had to stay behind to clean up after everyone in the band. Sophomore year I remember the horrible storm we had and that we had to hide in the basement waiting for the storm to go away just so we could get more of the drill onto the feild. Junior year was so blistering hot that the kids were dropping like flies including myself. I kid you not we had to take a break every 10 - 15 minutes. And this year, it was hot yes, but not as bad. The only problem was the rain.
When I think of Marching band, I always think of the Invitationals and all of the great moments that we have. And if you think about it, all of us always make one big family. Yes we may bicker, and fight but we seem to forget the good times. When we laugh together, give up everything to come to practices or performances, and just having a good time with each other. My band family is my second most important family to me. I really wouldn't be the person I am today without them. We have some great people in our group. And each year it was always like,"We will have a great season next year! I can't wait! Marching Band will be great!" and now, It's time to put the marching shoes away.. For good. OH MY GOD. I can't do it.. Why does High School have to be like this?? Why does it have to work that way? I always want to be apart of the band, and it's not fair that it has to end.
I love marching band with all my heart, and I love each and every member, teacher, and parent helper just the same. Thanks for a great season guys! You will have so much success in the years to come! I know it! I love you all! ♥
