Marching band is something that has influenced me to work hard in and of the classroom. It has taught me that hard work does not always get you what you want, the execution of what you know is a big part to show what you have learned. For example, this year our marching band attended Grand Nationals in Indianapolis and we had a great performance. Out of the 95 bands, 34 bands made it to semi-finals. We placed 35th and we were .05 out of semi-finals. I have learned that hard work will get you far but also you have to carry out the task in a way that will take you even farther. This knowledge will help guide me through college and life because I know the importance of hard work and how you can apply it to different situations.
