Great coaches don't yell at players just to release frustration and satisfy their own egos. Everything they say, and how they say it, is meant to help their players learn and perform as best as they can.

I feel like a lot of folks don't understand something about President Biden's landslide win yesterday in New Hampshire.
Below is the ballot voters used. See anyone missing?
President Biden wasn't even on the ballot. Voters had to physically write his name at the bottom.
He still won at least 56% of the vote as a write-in candidate. He beat Dean Phillips by at least 36 points.
When given the choice between @deanbphillips, who appeared at the top of the ballot, and everyone else below him, more than 56% of voters chose, instead, to write-in President Biden.
If a write-in candidate winning a landslide victory isn't an indicator of enthusiasm, what exactly is?
Also earning honors are Anna Hatcher as first alternate on baritone (number 9 in the Midstate) and Myah Cole as first alternate on flute (number 23 in the Midstate).
We are proud of them and all the other DMS students who auditioned this weekend!
Congratulations to Olivia Robertson for earning 6th chair horn in the Gold Band in the MTSBOA's All- Midstate Band clinic. Olivia will perform in January with other middle school musicians throughout the Midstate. She is currently ranked sixth in middle Tennessee. @DMSDragons
