We all love band. We wouldn’t shlep to rehearsal 3 days a week and devote weekends to it if we didn’t. I think it’s fairly safe to assume that all of us love band and the music and marching that comes with it.
But what about the little things?
I love performing in front of thousands and thousands of people at the football games. But performing for a few hundred high school kids who literally worship you… that’s beyond love. That’s what gives me the passion. Because I remember being one of those kids. We made an impact on those kids that is bigger than any of us can comprehend. They will always remember it.
Frawley may have seemed like a “little thing” on our schedule to some. With games almost every weekend, Allentown tomorrow, and so much on all of our plates, why should we bother going to a high school competition? Because to them… it was anything but “little”. And to me… it was one of my favorite performances (save for having to march over the pitchers mound!!).
And the bus ride back? Singing every song under the sun with the clarinets and the mellos? Another “little thing” that made waiting around hilarious and fun.
I love band. I love making music. But what REALLY makes the UDMB special is all of the little things, and all of you.
Now let’s rock it at Allentown tomorrow!!!!
Love,
Sara
