As the 2nd quarter comes to an end, we take our places in the block formation. My palms are slick with sweat, and my heart pounds like the the drumbeat of a rock band. I can't believe it's already here; our first performance. I mean sure, it's only a halftime show at a football game, but a performance all the same. As the snares count off, we take places for a full run of the drill. Adrenaline pulses through my veins, and I know for certain that every drop of sweat, and every sore muscle has been, and will be completely worth it.
As a freshman, it's completely overwhelming and exciting at the same time to join something as prestigious as the Goshen High School Marching Band. Learning the drill, music, and being surrounded by upperclassmen all the time can take quite a toll on your nerves. Although it is stressful at times, I can say with say with quite certainty that I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. It's an amazing feeling to know that all your hard work contributes to something much larger than yourself. Performing at the very first home football game, and being able to showcase our efforts was almost unreal. Although this was only the first of many competitions and performances, it is evident to me that this is going to be one heck of a season.
