“One of the concepts that we discuss throughout the school year in band is that … you, and you alone are responsible for the choices you make and the actions you take. Whether you choose to have the best year of your life or the worst, you will always be right. You control your thoughts, your thoughts control your actions, your actions control your outcomes,” said Roberds. “In the end, your thoughts control the outcome, so choose thoughts that will empower and enable the outcomes that you wish to achieve. Our GCHS Marching Warriors seniors have definitely been in control of their thoughts and actions, making this an INCREDIBLE year!”
