What I Like & Don't Like About Marching Band

I honestly don't know if I'll do marching band or not next year.   Before, I said that if I don't LOVE competeing, I'm not going to do it again.

I really enjoy the social aspect of marching band.  It's nice to be thrown in to a new environment with entirely new people.  I've really gotten to know some of the upperclassmen, and I'll really miss them when they go off to college.  That's one thing I like.  Another thing I enjoy is the football games.  I like playing in the stands, and just having a good time.

Of course, there are some things I don't like.  I don't like being sleep deprived, like when we have rehearsal from 6:30-9 on a school night twice a week, and football games running until ten on Friday night.  I also don't like rehearsals, since they tend to drag.  Band camp was the worst two weeks of my summer.  I'm glad that's over.

So, at least I don't have to decide yet, it'll be a lot to think about when I do have to choose.
