When marching band season rolls around‚ the taste of competition and the smell of hard work are always nearby. Entering my junior year of high school‚ I remember very clearly how excited I was for a new year of marching band. I had played percussion in the pit‚ which includes the mallets‚ timpani‚ and other non-marching percussion toys and instruments in the front of the field‚ for my entire high school career.
