The Feeling of Power
June 5, 2015
Standing in front of 70 people, holding your head high
Chest proud, arms straight and strong
The music in the palm of your hand and in the light of your eyes
The sky soaking up the sound of the band playing
The crowd behind you silent and in awe as you conduct a wall of noise
Music
It's the feeling of one thousand happy memories flooding your head
A whole rush of horses pounding through your heart
Making it race with power
Pride
Courage and bravery
Having the feeling of control coursing through your veins
Is like injecting caffeine straight to your system
it overwhelms, and it consumes.

I'm the new field commander for my band and I couldn't be more proud of my band and myself. It makes my heart happy to be a part of something so much bigger than myself, yet I am, at the same time, that something bigger.
