My Band Comp
Before every competition I think of the purpose of why marching band competitions are so important especially to me.  First it shows of my talent of being a big influence for playing trombone.  Second I’m representing the school by playing in the show and working hard showing and telling people I’m from Beatrice high school and that I’m proud.  Third the most important thing is my grade.  Unless I have a really good excuse like getting surgery, you never miss a band competition.  If i miss a competition the next day I would have an big fat F in the class.  And that would kill me more than the grade itself getting killed.  But I’m a freshman what would i know!  Until one competition changed my life and a day I will never forget.
