Since this was our first time, I just wanted them to experience it. Then, we'll branch out further as we grow as a band.

I didn't expect to get accepted the first time I applied. I just wanted to let people know we existed. It's a good feeling.

The kids are really excited about this. This is the first time the band has been able to do something like this.

This is a fun time of the year. We've got a couple of big games coming up against the Bay City schools. These are the games that you live to play for.

We've got some experience at receiver. They've done a great job this year making big plays for us. Me, as a first-year quarterback, it's big having those guys to be able to throw to and make big plays.

That experience from my sophomore season will definitely help. When I got up there my sophomore year I realized it was a good goal just to get there. Now I want something more. I want to place and get a medal, that's my goal.
