My Days in High School Band

By Amanda Beene

P My first day of high school, I wasn't even in band. I had been the year before but I'd moved to a new town and didn't know if I wanted to join band. I soon realized that band is where I belong. So not even a month into the school year I talked to my geography teacher, (also the bands asst. director) Judd Johnson, about joining late. He of course agreed readily to the idea. The band, at that time, was in between directors so Judd was in charge. So I went to my first high school band rehearsal, and fell in love with the band. I knew a few of the members already from some of my classes but they made me feel so welcome. Not 2 weeks later, I had learned the whole show and was marching with the band. It was one week before that first performance that I noticed that we had one really cute asst. drum major. His name was Tony.

If you want to hear more, review it. I've always wanted to tell the whole story of Tony and others. Thanks y'all!
