Tryout Day was very emotional. The whole day was bittersweet. I woke up that morning and immediately cried when I thought about leaving my girls. I got emotional again when I wore my hat for the last time. By the time the day ended, I felt better and promised myself that I wouldn’t cry again. I got into serious head majorette mode and began making sure all the seniors were in position and that the tryouts ran smoothly. Everything was going perfectly until the girls wanted to pray, and Sarah turned to me and said “Marilyn will you say the prayer one last time?” I broke. I tried so hard not to cry, but I sobbed through the prayer. When I finally opened my eyes everyone hugged me and cried and it was such a great way to say goodbye to my girls.
