The band room was abuzz with activity, a symphony of tuning instruments and whispered conversations. Olivia sat in the corner, gently polishing her trumpet. The brass gleamed under the fluorescent lights, reflecting her composed features. She hummed a melody under her breath, a familiar tune that calmed her.

She set her trumpet down, and straightened her posture. She knew the day was going to be a good one. With a light step, she walked to the coach's office.
