Do you want to win?

Someone asked me if I ever chose the mas band I play with based on thier winning record. To be honest that has never crossed my mind. I just choose costume, if I was bothered about winning the Band of the Year title I'd probably bring out my own band. *shrugs shoulders*

Does anyone actually choose a band based on the number of titles they have?

Nope, it's not like I'm getting anything from it. So my main focus is having a nice costume and having fun!

Why will titles be a pro for me...ok even if the band I play with wins a band of the Year what is in it for me. I don't get a discount the next year and if they have a free victory party it is often wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy after the fact when I am already home (as many of my friends who played with Legends experienced) to me it is all about the vibes and not about who win.
