These past three years I've been involved with the Point Pleasant Black Knight Marching Band continue to be the most incredible three years of my life. I've met many of my close friends through band and I would consider many of them my family. We will always be so much more than just a band and every tear, drop of sweat and bruise quickly becomes worth it. I learned many life lessons from my family. They stick by my side through the worst and best times of my life and I'm so exceptionally lucky to such good influences in my life.
During my 5th and 6th grade years of band several imporant things happened to me. In my 5th grade year Mr. Hilbert taught band. I miss having Mr. Hilbert for band class.. In 5th and 6th grade I played percussion. …show more content…
I didn't know much about band and I honestly didn't even want to go to the first practice. I felt extremely awkward and out of place and I didn't know what to be doing, but everything after that point became worth it. I helped sit up props and carry pit items for our band and shut my mouth and enjoyed every second. It goes by too quick to not enjoy it. I helped with Point Pleasant Black Knight Marching Band's 2014 competition show Moulin Rouge and the 2015 show Chicago on Broadway as a band manager. I realized that I also wanted to tryout for Drum Major my 11th grade year. My band family and the well-being of band quickly started to become my main priority. During my band managing years I also helped with props in The 2015-2016 Black Knight Revue.

They always help me and any other band member at any time of day. I'm lucky that I got the chance to be so close with them. I’ve gotten really close to one senior in particular. Madisyn Boswell quickly became one of the closest people in my life. She’s been one of the best influences on my life and she’s taught me to always try to find the positive in a situation. The quote “not sisters by blood, but sisters by heart.” perfectly describes us. I’m extremely lucky that she’s got my back. She’s always here for me even when I make stupid decisions and dumb comments. Without band I would’ve never been able to meet her. I hope that I will carry on some of her band influence and follow in her footsteps. She’s the best person I could ask for in a role model. I honestly couldn’t imagine my life without my sister by my side! I hope to put an amazing influence on one of my younger band friends like she did for
