A tributary of freshmen power into the

river. They

stumble through the

steady currents of

sophomores and seniors,

struggling to match the flow.

The band collects in a

creek,

synching their sound

waves as they learn the

music and drill for their show.

While drifting along the daily rehearsals,

water droplets collide –

stand partner's, a senior

mentoring a freshman–

forming a friendship as strong as a

hydrogen bond.

Storming football stadiums,

basketball courts, and pep assemblies,

the band surges the school. Their songs

ripple through the crowd,

rallying the home team to

victory.

Leading the ensemble

with their rip currents,

the seniors rush through their

final marching season. After four years of

gaining momentum, they can’t

slow the flow.

The seniors drain from the stream

as they find a new

river.
