Holy cow. The end of the season't just come so fast. It doesn't feel like the end of the season. I haven't been feeling well this whole week, so I missed the play off game yesterday. We won, so we'll have at least one more game. I think we're supposed to go pretty far. Senior speeches were this morning. They were mainly about the marching band being like a family and how fast it really does go. Too true. My marching band career is about half way over. Didn't it just start? Other points commonly mentioned were about how their parents made them join marching band and how they loved it, and how they've made so many friends. After the speeches, the band and guard formed a prayer circle, and everyone who wanted to prayed. It was amazing.
One memorable speech made by a hilarious marching band senior was accompanied by a "diagram" of the band family. It was him,"married" to another upperclassman senior trumpet girl, and they had their trumpet children. His "siblings" were the other upperclassman section leaders. And in turn, they each had their section children. His "parents," my "grandparents" were the drum majors, my marching band mentor was the "father," and the other drum major was the mother, since she's more nurturing. My "great grand parents" were my directors. The director's siblings were the other guard instructors, a combination of their names, and they had their guard children. He called my band director old. Everyone was cracking up.
