I also love the social aspect of a contest, it brings the band together and also gives people the chance to catch up with old friends.

We love rising at an unearthly hour to get to the Contest on time
We love predicting [probably wrongly] the position we'll come.
We love spending <100 hours on a piece of music we may dislike only to be told by a blind and deaf old man [why no women?] that we have been wasting our time.
We love the drunken and boorish behaviour at Contests.
We love<18 hour days with the insertion of 15 or 30 minutes of stress/anxiety/hell[as appropriate] at a random point.
We love the antagonism/bickering/jealousy[any two from three?] following the results.
We love conductors being told publicly that they don't know what they're doing.
We love not being mentioned at all[as individuals] in the adjudicator's comments because we can then criticise with impunity.
....... and so on ad infinitum.
