The Importance Of Marching Band Competition
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 im proud. Third the most important thing 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 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. It was at Lincoln Seacrest

I decided to stick to my plan and run him over. Every step I took trying to get closer to him while getting to my spot, my legs instantly got electrified. I got closer and closer and, right there I scared him and I stepped right in front of him, while he jumped in horror from not seeing me. After that I played my last note and popped my horn down.

A few weeks later in my band class we were listening to the recordings of the judges comments. At first I wouldn't even thought of hearing the judge I attempted to get run over would say he did. While the class was listening closely my band director Mr. Johnson turned up the speaker for an odd reason and right there I heard the judge say “theres a trombone player almost knocked me over”. After that everyone praised me. This is what changed my life
