"Almost perfect, but not quite."

In marching band I play the drums, and last year I played the snare drum. This year I wanted to play a new instrument called the tri-toms or tri's for short.
So I tried out for the tri's, but so did three other people. Unfortunately we only have three tri's at our school, and guess who didn't make it. Me. So I was pretty mad. But the good thing is that the day we figured out who did and who didnt make the part is that the band and choir members went to an amusement park for a "reward", so that took my mind of it instead of being mad all day in school.
