When I was an 8th grader signing up for my high school classes I had to make a decision if I was going to continue with band. To be quite honest I didn't want to do band because my older brother had experienced it and decided it wasn't for him. I also had the thought in my mind I would be a total geek and I would be a loner...well that turned out to be completely untrue. I decided to try band and if I didn't like it I could easily quit. Quitting seems easy, like it is the simple option out of everything. But when I got into band I discovered how incredible and supporting the people are. The football games where I was in the stand screaming and playing my instrument gave me a rush. Quitting was and is out of the question. Today I am a sophomore in high school with the future of being drum major my junior and senior years! Back in 8th grade I would have never thought I would be where I am today. Thanks to my amazing friends and family who supported me and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I love band because its the reason I wake up in the morning, its the reason I work hard, and it is the reason I am happy.
