      When my band was preparing for it, we were given it right after our fall concert to have enough time to prepare it for MPA and so my band director would mix the name with another piece we played called Turning Point and so my band director would call it Counterpoint instead of Counterbalance. It became a bit of an inside joke between all of the band members
