Chin up. 

And L shape

Keep your head like this at all times

Don't you dare lower your horn

Your instrument

You're here for a reason

To get better

So get better

Back straight

Posture

Perfection

And when you think you've done it in perfection

You haven't seen DCI

Get better 

Your air capacity will expand over the years

sir, I don't think I can hold out much longer

You can. 

what? 

I can barely. 

Shut it

Don't quit

The moment you do you will never regain strength

come on 

Open your eyes

These people around you

Sweat on their face

Hearts pounding

Breath wavering

We all know your pain

We all have been there

We know what it's like

You're not alone

Memorize the music beforehand so you can worry about each step

That's what I did.

If you can get the marching down 

Then you can focus on the music

Don't listen across

The field creates distance 

You have to know when you come in 

Was it really hard for you as a freshman?

I was teh freshman of all freshman kid. 

Ask anyone

I caused a lot of frustration

If anyone got the worst of it

Here at this school

Four years ago 

It was me. 

I wasn't alone

People made fun of me for it

But I love marching

And you'll grow to love it to. 

Now let's review.

Yes, sir!

"Feet -- together, 

Stomach -- in,

Chest -- out, 

Head -- up, 

Eyes -- with pride,

Eyes -- with pride,

Eyes -- with pride."

Did you respond with all confidents?

"Sir, yes, sir!"

Do you know what I expect from you?

"I expect more, sir!"

Good answer. 

When I walk that stage will you know what to do the following year?

"You're not throwing me to the wolves yet, Sir."

No. A smile spreads across my lips. No I'm not. 

Good luck. 

Conclusion: It says to write about my favorite sport. I did a conversation between me and a freshman during band camp.
