The State Champion

I just wrote a post about how Craig was a State Champion Diplomat. This made me recall that he was quite the State Champion. Our Senior year, he was in the State Champion Jazz Band (I think we can say that, since we won the sight-reading award, almost swept the soloist awards, and got straight superiors. So even though there was no official title, I think it's rather clear!), one of the top choirs in the state, the State Champion Pep Band (again, if our basketball team got the state championship, doesn't that make us the state champion pep band? I say yes), was named the best Drum Major at at least some of the competitions we went to as a Marching Band, and we did pretty darn well as a Marching Band that year, under his leadership, too! There's probably others I don't even know about. Who knows but that he was tasting milk and identifying the cows that got into the onion patch at FFA meetings. Wouldn't surprise me. Craig was quite the Champion.
