During my years in high school, I have participated in many extracurricular activities. My favorite one has been the Marching band. It takes up about twelve hours a week with all the practices, games and the shows that we compete in. We played at Dolphin stadium in Miami and the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, as well as many holiday parades. As a freshman I started as a bass drummer. In my sophomore year I challenged a snare drummer and took his place on the drumline. In my junior year, I tried out for, and was selected to be the Captain of the drumline. I was chosen for my superior abilities and leadership skills. Since I have been the Captain, the drumline has improved immensely and all of its members like and respect me as their leader. This has been a very challenging, but rewarding experience.
