State's over.
We got a two.
A two is good, yes, but well... We've been getting ones since before I was born. Nobody really knows how to react yet, and we've had almost a day since it was announced. It's really kind of depressing.
Thenkfully, it's not pushing me back into my earlier depression. But...
At least next year, when I yell at freshmen to fix something small, I have a really good reason to, not just "It should be done because it's wrong."
I do feel a little sorry for next year's freshman though, because they're going to be pushed even harder than they would be in a normal year, and they'll have been told whay, but they won't really know, because they heven't been in band to know what state is like, and they won't know the feeling we got after getting at two after 17 years of ones. (Which is really hard to do, mind you. We're the only band in our class to have gotten 13 ones in the last 13 years. There are only full state records for the past 13 [now 14] years, so we can't compare farther back.)
Anyway, I'll just kinda... yeah.
