Yeah i know this is a little late, so sue me!
Anyway, when I realized Memorial Day was coming up, i was filled with misery. Why do we have to do this?!?! gonk Ever since i joined Senior Band, I bagged out on every Memorial Day Parade. Well this time was different. I went to the parade and it wasn't that bad... That is... until... I found out that i had to play Taps! What's so bad about that, is that for Veteran's Day, I had to play it and i messed up.... BAD! A plus was that i wasn't the only one. My friend plays Taps first, and i play right when he ends. It went great! The only thing that went bad was that i was sooo nervous, i started playing all shaky and whatnot. I had to play it 5 times. At the end of the Parade, I felt moved. I realized what this Parade truly means to people. There are friends, family, and loved ones, over in a foreign country fighting for our freedom! They are risking their lives in a war that seems to never end. People have died for us, and their death probably didn't even "dent" the outcome of the war. The least we can do is sit on our front porch and watch as the Veterans march proudly throughout our streets.
We are American, The Proud, The Free, and The Brave!
