aidenfireBand is done. We ended fifth in the state, which is way respectable. Especially considering that in my four years, the only other time we've even made it (top ten) we finished 9th. One of our philosophies when we're using someone else's space is to leave it in better shape than you found it. And really, that's what us seniors have done. My freshman year we were awful. Like, really really bad. We ended around 17th, I think. And there are less than 20 bands in our flight. Yeahhh. My sophomore year we ended 9th, my junior year we ended twelfth. And this year--5th. I'm really quite pleased. We've worked our asses off, we had good support staff, and our show was solid in both writing and execution. We deserved this. It was especially nice because when we walked on to the field, we were ranked at seventh, and we came out with fifth. Two places up helz yeah!
It's sad, though. I'll probably ramble about this more later when I am less omgtired, but although I am very ready for the season to be over and to be able to relax and, y'know, have a life again--I am so, so sad that this season is in all likelyhood my last one. Band has been something I've been doing for years, and basically every single one of my best friends are in band. It's really like a family, and it's a community I'm going to miss like hell.
But now I am going to nap and then shower because ewww stinky. hahahah.

Date: 2006-10-30 12:00 am (UTC)we placed sixth, which isn't really bad, especially considering how competitive flight II is.
we're so spoiled, though, and used to placing top three every year, so it kind of punched us in the stomach...

Date: 2006-10-30 02:20 am (UTC)Ahhh, at least you get to miss band knowing there was all this good stuff and excitement behind it, yes? But I'm sorry that you'll miss it anyhow. Senior year must suck in the sad-and-leaving department...
Um, to end on a positive note, YAY 5TH!
