If You Really Want It...

For those of us that know about Marching Band stuff, here's a piece of wisdom for ya.

Daviess County has always been one of our most experienced rivals in competition, and has always had the reputation of being amazing. And to be honest, they're only bigger than we are and are all doing the same thing. Apollo High School has finally come across a chance to take Class AAAAA back BY STORM.

The Daviess County Band of Pride isn't up to their game.
This year, their band camp staff consisted of ENTIRELY new members, even including their Director. With all the inexperience laying all over the place, it's becoming hard for them to unify and keep it together. Sure, they're Daviess County, but no band's worth anything until they are ONE band, and not someodd players walkin in the same direction.

If the Apollo High School Marching Band will give it our very, very best, never give up, never quit, and work our absolute hardest until the end, we honestly have more of a shot at this point at making Semi-Finals than Daviess County does. When it's one week before our first competition, I just wanted to let everyone know that and get this thought into writing before we all give up and mosey around like we have for the past 4 years straight. You wanna make it to Semi-Finals? You wanna take ownership of your mistakes and fix 'em, rather than pretend they're not even there and forget about 'em in an hour?

I'm not going to let you.
Now is our time. Now is our chance. We strike NOW, because there may never be a chance this blatantly oppurtune in our lifetime. Marching Eagles, let's take 'em.
