We ended up placing 4th in championships. I'm disappointed but not upset. We gave it our all and had an awesome show. We always had the disadvantage of not having the playing power of the other bands. As the smallest group 5 band, though, we did pretty damn well. We even beat one of the bands that was expected to beat us. Sure we placed 4th but we still have something that Cheshire doesn't. People are always commenting on our discipline and other bands respect us. Northampton and Whitehall always go crazy after our shows, Freedom thought we were awesome, a random girl from another band told me she thought we were amazing, and Pleasent Valley even left us an airgram for Championships. On the other hand other bands love it when Cheshire fails. I was told by some random woman one year that "We better beat Cheshire". When they announced the band that won second Cheshire started cheering and hugging each other. When we won 4th they started laughing and cheering. Cheshire is an arrogant band that is disliked by pretty much everyone else. We still clapped for them when they placed 1st and Becky told them congradulations as they walked past as we left. I don't feel inferior to them at all.
The night itself was fun. I had popey's chicken for the first time. I bought a Nightmare Before Christmas pin and I Feel Sick vol. 1 at Hot Topic. At the show I got to see both the Jackson band (Phantom of the Opera) and Hunterdon (The Matrix).
On a malicious note I hope Cheshire moves up to 6 and gets pwnd by North Penn. Speaking of group 6, Immaculata ended up there this year. They were in the same situation we were which was being the smallest in their group. They didn't do as well as they usually did either.
I know a lot of people were annoyed with me for reacting the way I did. It seemed that Caitlin Mcenroe and I were the only ones who weren't upset or crying.
In short although I'm a bit disappointed, I don't regret anything. I had a wonderful marching band career and will miss it despite how much I complained.
