36 Auditioned for a few 2011 Leadership positions!!!!!

Even though there were only a few positions available…This past Saturday, May 16th … 36 Outstanding Legend MB Students auditioned for 4 hours in their attempt to earn Leadership positions in the 2011 Legend Titan Marching Band… All of the students were very excited in knowing that this was the final stamp of a 364 day audition…

When asked, one student said what they learned from the day… was that— “No one gives you leadership, you have to earn it!”

I(Mr. Otis) and all of the returning leaders, who were also apart of the overall evaluation process, were impressed and excited about all of the auditions. Final results will be announced at the end of year Band Banquet on Friday, May 6th. Congratulations band members… you are all leaders…
