POL: The Charge of the Light Brigade

The Charge of the Light Brigade actually wasn't my first choice for a poem. What I really wanted to recite was The Cremation of Sam Mcgee by Robert Service, but that poem was retired from the competition. When I saw that, I had no idea what poem I was going to do, until I saw The Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The reason this poem stood out to me was bacause I've heard a lot about it from my family and it's what The Trooper by Iron Maiden is about. At first, it was very hard to memorize as I had no idea what happened during the charge. Then I started reasearching the Battle of Balaclava and it's easier to memorize now. What this poem is about is the charge in it's most intense moments; when the British Light Brigade is charging the Russian guns, the skirmish, and the retreat. This happened as a result of a misread order.
