My Trip To See My Old Marching Band Win State

We may have graduated, but that will never stop us from supporting our favorite band members with the Eye of the Tiger at their state competition.

For the first time in 10 years, the James F. Byrnes High School marching band from earned the title of State Champions. A few alumni got together and made the trip to the state competition as fans watching from the stands rather than marchers performing on the field. After years of battling it out with other top bands in the state, we got to witness our old high school finally take home the gold medal. It was an unforgettable day full of screams and tears of joy. The "eye of the tiger" has always been a motivational symbol of pride and perserverance to the Rebel Regiment, so the song "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor holds a very dear place in the heart of every member that passes through this band program.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
