My Central Idea

Narrative Argument
I want to start off by introducing my experiences in colorguard. I want to tell the story of when I was in Calvert Hall's marching band, which was competitive but not extreamly good. I want to take a look at that and how this experience was more of the cookie cutter image dipicted of marching band. Yes we were competitive and good, but we didn't practice as much as my high schools marching band.
I then want to move into my high school's marching band and how we were more competitive, better, and a stronger unit then I ever though was possible. We were a sterotypical marching band and we practiced more then a full time employee would go to work.
I'm thinking that between my personal stories and some field studies done with marching band I'll be able to argue the idea that a marching band is nothing more then a bunch of kids that get together, sit around and so aweful things.

Another idea I was playing with is how jobs are so difficult to get. My brother who I have always looked up to and seen as an amazing student and someone who can do anything is having a lot of trouble getting a job after college and I want to talk about how if he can't get a job then who can. Just an idea though...
