As a member of the Duncanville band, it was shocking and depressing to miss out on finals. But this deep emotion only added to this already emotional show. But I think all of us gained a lot of pride through this experience, and we performed "The Crossing" for the last time at our football game tonight, only two days after state. It was even better than in the Alamodome, and the applause we received was tremendous. As a senior, with four years of marching with the amazing Duncanville band, this show ended up meaning so much more than a medal to us.
