| Here I am on the podium at one of many Memorial Mustang football games during my high
school band career. So much of my time and energy was devoted to putting on a great performance on that field
every week. In a way, I suppose the field came to embody a wide mix of emotions: anxiety, determination, enthusiasm,
and pride. I don't think I will every be able to go to a football game without thinking of all that I once put (and
still do) on the grass. Although each week was similar to the last and I became familiar with my new 'turf'(pardon
the pun), it was a big leap from anything I had ever done before high school, so it really was like voyaging to
a brand new port.
