Seasons Change, This One Will Pass

The Catasauqua marching band season is slowly coming to an end. One football game remains before we finish it off with championships.
Since band camp began in July I expected a season just like any other. Chatting when we weren’t supposed to, playing our music over and over until we got our dynamics right, but I was wrong.
Not about chatting or playing, but the season itself. It’s not just like the previous seasons but my last chance to play in a band that I consider family.
Each and every game, where we cram all our stand tunes in the fourth quarter. Home games where all our seniors so awkwardly greet the other band and walk away foolishly.
Late nights spending so much time on basics, laughing at the smallest slip up, and getting yelled at for not being set on time. Instructors praise and bashing us within minutes.
When I think about being just another graduate to the next group of band members I can't help but fear. A season so full of companionship, laughter, and hard work will be nothing but a memory.
Moments like these end up meaning the most to students. Just know that despite certain things coming to an end you should look back on them fondly because every action or emotion makes you, you.
