We're now back at our hotel in St. George, UT. I came into the CHHS Marching Band in 2009 summer after moving to West Jordan from Brea, CA. My initial reactions to the music programs here were not very good. hahaha Since 2009 I have been a part of the CHHS Marching Band drumline, playing every part of it (Cymbals [2009] - Bass 2 [2009-2010] - Snare [2010] - Pit [2011]) except for Tenors, which I might try out for this year's winter season. :) Since then I have seen this band grow by more than 20 members, improving dramatically in music and marching quality: finally turning into the band I greatly longed to still be a part of at Brea. We may not have taken any 1st place trophies home, or even seldom not in last place, over these two years, but none of that matters. The growth I've seen has been too amazing to comprehend, and I'm extremely proud to have contributed to that growth. My last words to the non-seniors in the band: "Guys, I've seen this band grow every year since 2009. Don't shrink next year. If any of you drop out, I'll beat you. >:)"
After that we had a pretty emotional moment. I felt a little bad coz I was one of the only seniors not tearing up.. hahaha Reality is I'm going to see all of them tomorrow morning and on Monday around school. xD
CHHS Marching Grizzlies. It's been great. Thank you all. I only wish I didn't move here in the middle of that summer so I could have marched that 4th year with you. But the last 3 have been an amazing experience.
傷別啊。
