My OperaEnergized for a Win
Friday, June 27, 2008 2:37:11 AM
The Haughton High School Big Red Band was not done yet.
For the next month and a half, we worked ourselves until our bodies would not allow any more work.
We drowned eachother in sweat, played our instruments until we burned holes in our jaws each and every day. Our practice was not limited to after-school rehearsals. We took everything we learned on those days and practiced them until it was embedded in our memories.
It hurt, but it hurt good.
And we never quite expected Parkway's contest results...
We were taught to not expect anything, because Expectation would be the death of us. But we're human. And EVERY human has some expectation. Even you.
All our talents; all our practice; all our dreams were everything but put to waste...
We energized for the win. We prepared for the loss.
We were only Provoked:
Provoked to immerse ourselves in more sweat.
Provoked to practice over and over until our jaws were no longer utilizable.
And that was bad news for the other bands!
To be continued with Parkway contest.
