This was in the practice lot, so I ran and grabbed the bottle afterwards and recycled it. My favorite sentimental memory is from my junior year. I was feeling down during pizza night at band camp because I felt alone and like I didn't fit in with my section or had any friends there for me, when the tenor freshman Brayden Coulter sat down next to me and said I was his best friend, and asked if he could join me and my friends for Uno.
