State Band Trip

A few months ago, we were working our butt's off in band practice to prepare for district in hopes of actually making it state this year. Our nerves were on edge during the competition, but we were fortunate enough to make a 2-1-1-1 which qualified us to go to Abiline.

So, last friday, we left at 9 am for our 8 hour bus-ride to Abiline to compete in the state competition. For the whole trip, we kept mentioning how pointless it was for us to be going to state. One, we knew we wouldn't get close to winning. Two, it's incredibly far way. Three, even if we did win, there was no hope of going to nationals since there is no nationals.

So, absolutely none of us were worried or nervous during our performance. Afterall, what was there to worry about?

Welp...turns out we definitly got all 1's. Not only that, we won every other category including sax quartet, flute trio, sight-reading, and jazz band, and lastly winning the "sweepstakes"...whatever that means.

How 'bout that.
