As bad as i wanted state....
( and i wanted it beyond belief....
to go from being the smallest
4A at state to being the smallest 5A
would hav been nothing short of absolutely incredible..)
(this is the first time dickinson has not gone to state since
iono the begining of time mayb?... haha)
but losing to bands Such as
- Brazoswood
- The Woodlands
- West Field
- and Spring
(which are the bands that are going to state btw)
and being right behind north shore (whose the alternate)
making us (dickinson) 6th
is at the very least, a respectable loss
ironically enough the 4 state contenders are very well known BOA bands as well
(im not sure of north shore so i cant comment on them)
those top 4 bands were bands were easily
predicted to b our most difficult competition
and to b placed to so close to them in competition
is pretty B.A i gotta say, bcuz thos are bands weve (as a band)
hav looked up to since b4 i can remember
even my sister who was in the Dickinson band in the mid 90's
remembers admiring those programs as well
no, we did not hav the great honor of returning to state
but by all means im certain that everyone in our band program
was proud of our performance last evening.
which needless to say, in the end, if we honestly do our best, that's all well hav power over
my Band director made a very good point after we reviewed our preliminary results
"some ppl like pizza, some ppl like ham, but i personally like steak"
its just how the cookie crumbles
Congrats to all the bands that evening who did their best
whether the qualified for finals,
qualified for state,
or just enjoyed their time creating unforgettable memories
