I can't believe last year is over!  Bah!  I'm going to miss all you seniors, especially my guard chicks.  So here's some advice for you guys after band life is over.
       1.)  Listen to your elders - you never know when they'll get alzheimer's disease and forget who you are.
       2.)  Don't judge people - you never know which ones are going to go crazy and try to attack you later in life.
       3.)  Choose your friends wisely - some people are just stupid.
       4.)  Don't choose relationships because of someone's looks.
Ignorance may be bliss, but not if you're the one stuck with the ignorant person for that long. 
All in all, I love you guys with all my heart. Just don't forget about me when you're gone. Oh, and I still love everyone in band. You're my family.  Michael and all the guard girls, you have helped me through some very hard times.  No pain I will ever go through will be greater than the pain I will feel when my soul tears in two from leaving you guys.  Except maybe childbirth
