just as a side note, i did see poteets parents and students after the show and they were crying and balling, but lets admit it, they have a really high expectations, as do all the other bands that were not only in finals but at the state contest. We as young adults and students have to understand that even though we are really competitve that this honestly and truly, is another step of maturity, and that even though we might have not come in 1st 2nd or 3rd, the only thing we can be proud of is how we felt our individual bands performances went, not how 5 people rank the bands we represent, this is a true test of adulthood, not worrying about what others think or feel but how we feel we carry ourselves
