Every year at one of the last football games, the seniors in football, cheer, chevals, and of course, the band get recognized for all their work over the last four years. I had seen all my friends from past years get to walk across the football field and get recognized and it was finally my time to do the same. I remember it being extremely cold but I was so excited that I wasn't bothered by the weather. With my last name starting with a T, I was near the end of the band kids getting recognized. I waited my turn and then finally got to go. Even though I just walked across a football field, the same one I had been on SO many times in the past, it was still incredibly special because I got to share it with my family and my band family. During half time, the band still had to perform but the seniors got to wear white plums. Before the red uniforms we wear now, the Creekview band used to wear white uniforms with white plums. Therefore, when the uniforms and directors changed, the band students wanted to remember their past so they got to wear white plums. That tradition has carried through out the years and I'm glad it didn't stop with us. I felt so important because I had wanted to wear that white plum for so long. I had seen my older friends wear them and I felt like it would be forever until I was able to wear the plume. Getting to marching an amazing show, wearing that sparkly, white plume, was a great conclusion to my last marching season. I wouldn't trade that night for anything. It was definitely one of my all time favorite football games.
