Motivational fact of the day
71 bands performed in all 4 flights on Saterday at 3 sights in the state (Huron Valley @ Lakeland High, Durand, and Reeths-Puffer). In Music Ensamble, we recieved a 17.4/20 (which is equivalent to a 87/100) and out of all 71 bands, we tied for 3rd (We beat every band in flight IV and III, and We tied with Reeths-Puffer from flight II which got a total score of 85.85 by comparison to our 76.30) The only bands that beat us in Music Ensamble were Plymoth Canton (by 1.4 points) and South Lyon (by 1.0 points).
In other words, we kicked butt in one category. the bad news is that Music Ensamble is only 10% of your total score. If we can get similar marks in Music Individual, and Music Effect I and II, we are golden.
Focus in this week guys. The season is NOT over, and dispite what some people have said, making the dome is not enough. We have to make a bold statement to people. Last weeks score was NOT a mistake. we beat Athens once, and we can do it again. People think that we got lucky at Huron Valley, and we have to walk into that dome with that chip on our sholder if we are gunna succeed. Dont just perform "For the Seniors", perform for the Clarkston Program. less than 10 years ago Clarkston was a power in MCBA, On Saterday were going there to tell people that "Clarkstons back". to use a favorite movie quote, "we have to grab them by the throat and kick them in the ass" (Patton), because people doubt us. If nothing else, perform out of pride... pride for yourself, for your friends, for your band, your school... whatever. This season ends on the busride back from the dome, not before that.
GO Clarkston.
