In this case Ashley Calabotta (please hit me if I spelled this wrong.)
Today was the final day of Color Guard and Drum Major tryouts.
Renata Shirlee, Chase Travaille, Ashley Calabotta, Sean Rast, and I (Christopher Queen) worked valiantly for 2 days perfecting the techniques necessary to grasp an understanding of the basic drum major concepts. Marching, vocal commands, and conducting were all scrutinized by two third-party judges, Mrs. Abbott and another musician who's name escapes me at the moment.
We began by giving our commands, then we proceeded into our conducting, which was followed by our salute, then a final round of questions.
Quite the daunting task no matter how prepared you are.
Though the scores were close, Ashley came out on top, and will be our Drum Major next year. Truly, a sight to behold, Ashley will put up with nothing and dole out commands like no one's business. Congratulations.
And I would like to congratulate everyone who stuck it out, and tried out.
It takes a lot of guts, and everyone who tried could've done a fine job as Drum Major.
Remember, it was a friendly competition and the best came out on top.
Grudges should not be held, and hopefully won't.
Goodnight.
