You're gonna be bothered by how cool I am.

I just wanted to express my joy at the McGavock High School Band (which I marched in for four years in high school) becoming the winningest band at MTSUs illustrious Contest of Champions this past Saturday. I wish I could have been there to see it. They've won the contest 10 times and in the band's 32 year history, they have been named State Champions at C.O.C. 22 times.

( Cut because the pictures are huge. )
