ALL-STATE RESULTS ARE BACK!!!!! :shock:

But that's okay.  The news isn't all bad because

I MADE IT IN BY GOD!!!

I'm second chair tenor sax in all-state band, but apparently, I got there only by default.  I was ranked 3rd in the state (which isn't that bad I guess, but I still wouldn't have made the cut), but the kid that was ranked #2 elected to go to alto, so I got in on tenor.  I guess this is God's way of keeping me humble; my fate was entrusted to fortune and not my own work.  On alto, I was ranked #7 in the state.  I'm surprised I even placed in the top 10.  I even managed to beat out Colin Martin from UHS by a wide margin.  I think that George Washington HS and Morgantown HS owned the saxophone section this time around.

MHS had representatives from pretty much every section.  Allow me to demonstrate:
