Last Tuesday morning I served as the iceman for the drinks available for purchase before school in the band concession stand. As a result, I was running a bit late to my first period class. I walked into my Economics class where Mr. Brad Gentry was explaining the business world to us in an easy going pace as a result of his banking and nonprofit experiences. In second period, Ms. Judy Defrehn continued to influence our literary minds with her love of British poetry. Calculus and Physics were both challenging and exciting at the same time. In seventh period, Director of Bands Michael Berryhill made us play our music with more emotion. It was just a regular day for me at SBEC.
One special event happened on Thursday. Together with three other students and Mr. Berryhill, I left school early to participate in the Mississippi State Honor Band tryouts. Since we were in Starkville, our group ate at one of the favorite restaurants of the Mississippi State students. While trying out for the Honor Band, I was able to audition for the college band next year, since I currently am a senior. Following the tryouts, we listened to a special performance of the Mississippi State Maroon Wind Symphony. It was a most exciting day.
