Re: another chair story

We had weekly chairs in high school and it did force me to get better and stay on my toes. In 9th grade it was just our grade in the lower band and the rule was you could only get challenged by one person at a time. I was first chair but had two girls in my section who just hated me and they challenged me every week! I always won, except for one week where I misheard what the band director said to play and one of them beat me. For three weeks I would try to challenge the new first chair and she would say her friend was already challenging her. Finally I got smart and told her I was challenging her in TWO weeks. I won that seat back and kept it the rest of the year.

The following year we joined the larger band, made up of 10-12 grades. I was in the first section and those two were in third. I guess all that practice and competition paid off, for me at least!
