Winterguard State

So, today is April 2. Day 2 in my quest of BEDA. It is also Winterguard state. I woke up at 5 am to get to school by 5:45 so that i could get on a bus and drive to Houston. That is about 3.5-4 hours from where i live (AUSTIN). Winterguard is spinning flags, rifles and sabers. Like you see in Marching bands, but without the band. So we had the state competition and it really was great. The bus ride up was fun and hanging out with all the awesome people in winterguard was fun. I got really nervous before i went on so i didn't do as well as i would hope, but i'm still very happy with what happened. We performed in a Middle School gym, and we all know how small those are. From the edge of our floor there was about 6 inches until the first bleacher. That's really close. Because it was so small we didn't have as many people watching us, which was depressing. I really like the crowd and the feeling that you are making people happy. That people are enjoying what you're doing. Maybe i'm just weird to like those things, but i do. For that couple of minutes you have their undivided attention and to hear that they enjoy letting you have their attention is fabulous. I just love feeling like i'm changing someones life. Ok i'm not making a change in there life that will ever mean anything in the future, but it's nice to feel people say wow. To think that you're doing something i wish they could do. If i inspire one person, that would be great only because i love changing lives. I love helping people, and i love being part of something bigger than myself.
