Band Day

Hey flutes!

I was in my theatre class on Tuesday, and my professor, knowing I was in the marching band, started talking to me about her daughter that played piccolo at Band Day.  She came home from the game ecstatic and raving about how many friends she had made in the section.  My professor said she talked for over an hour about how great we were.

It’s amazing how much of an impact we can make on the high school and middle school bands by just hanging out and talking to them on the field.  It’s the small gestures that most of us aren’t consciously thinking about that really make the experience something special and unique for each person.

Sarv always says she would rather have us, the ones the field, hear the compliments she hears directly, rather than through her.  I never thought much about it until I talked to this professor.  It was really touching when she approached me as a mother and truly thanked me for making Band Day an amazing experience that her daughter will never forget.

Thank you so much for all your hard work so far!  Let’s keep pushing forward and make the rest of this season incredible!!
