I switched from alto saxophone in 7th grade to tenor, then switched from tenor to bari in 8th grade. In the picture, I wasn't being awarded a merit scholarship; I was being announced as a senior. I wasn't a Marching Band captain; I was THE Marching Band Captain my senior year, after serving as A saxophone captain the year before. Also, you dpn't have to qualify to join Marching Band, you can just join.
