I wasn't the quarterback, and I didn't wear a jersey. My place was in the band, where we watched the game along with everyone else. The band had its own battles-the roar of the crowd was in time with our rhythms, but our pride was tested against the glory of the gridiron.

In Halftime: High School Pain and Glory, the coming-of-age story about growing up in a small town is told through the eyes of someone who marched, played, and lived in the shadow of Friday night lights. The story spans two seasons. 1986, when the narrator was a freshman at Gadsden High, and 2022, when the narrator and his wife watch friends navigate the challenges of parenting a daughter in the band and a son who happens to be the starting quarterback on the football team. It's a journey of resilience, friendship, and the bittersweet pull of nostalgia.
