When I was younger, my father gave me a lecture on having a desire. He told me that to be successful, you must have the desire to work for whatever you seek. Now that I am old enough and have been through some trials and tribulations to understand the concept of his philosophy, I believe in having a desire and having the will to work. When I was in the seventh grade, I felt as if I was a car with a dead engine on a highway during a winter storm. Even though I was a straight A student I had no desire to work, especially with the troubles I had at school and at home.
In my Junior year of high school in the middle of competitive band season, the Winged Regiment was doing great. We just passed our rivals Somerset Academy, and were in the running to be state champions in the class 2A. I wasn’t thinking about any of that though, because I had my mind set on marching DCI. As a little precursor, DCI is basically the NFL of competitive marching bands; the teams are made up of drum corps, which consist of 150 people ranging from the age of 15 to 21. These drum corps compete in a circuit called DCI, or Drum Corps International, and march at different shows across the nation while being judged, receiving scores on their performance.

I was fortunate enough to grow up with coaches that pushed me to reach limits I did not even know I had, as well as teammates whom I shared the same passion towards the sport with.
I have always been a particularly musical person. When I was younger, I wanted to become a singer when I grew up, but upon joining the choir in elementary I realized I did not have the talent for singing that I thought I had. Continually singing off key and never sounding as good as my peers did, I decided to confine myself to singing at home where only my family could hear me. Despite this revelation that I was, in fact, a terrible singer, I still wanted to participate in some type of musical performance and decided to join the band in middle school. After trying out various different instruments, I settled on the flute and quickly fell in love.
