A Nice Thing
I have to commend a band member. For the past two days, a young man has been coming to the band room to practice. Not because anybody told him too. Not because he was required, but because he knew he should practice. I am honored to have students like him in our band. This is not only commitment but also self discipline. His parents and instructors should also be commended for instilling traits such as these into him.
That is what it is really all about. Everybody working together toward a common goal. None of the "us against them" stuff. We all want some of the same things. Sometimes it hard to make sacrifices but in the end they are certainly worth it.
If students like the young man practicing for the past two days are the norm at Dutch Fork, then get ready for something spectacular to happen...for us all. Remember only together can we achieve our goals and together we can do things that others can only dream of. As a former drum major of mine once said, "Don't worry, I have a feeling about this." He was correct. We won lower state that same day.
