I attended the winter concert at the High School where my son is the band director and my granddaughter is a band member. What a moving experience!
High school band look young yet mature much more talented than we ever were. Our music was crude theirs is refined to say ours was music would be very kind. If only they knew they border on great. We once played notes but these kids create music which touches the heart at its core giving the listener a thirst for some more. Some will continue their music for fun others stay with it for the long run and share it with others in churches or schools where their instruments serve as great tools. One day when they’re older and hear a band play enjoying the talent compared to their day they’ll sit in amazement this generation so new confident these new kids will know what to do.

Once we had, long long ago, a school band playing on San Francisco Forty Niners Candlestick Park turf, they belted that music until they got a standing ovation, never saw one after them, it was more than memorable!
