Treasure Valley Festival of Bands, 2009.

Yesterday was the Treasure Valley Festival of Bands Competition.
I don’t really have much to say about it…

Except that I am SO proud and impressed with the progress that the Homedale Trojan Marching Band has made. Where they are now and where they were a year ago are miles apart. See for yourself:

The majority of the band (basically everyone except minus the Drum Major) is either in Middle School or just entering High School. It’s been amazing to watch the progress and evolve. I will never say that it is my doing- I feel all the credit in the world belongs to their band director, and my friend- Mr. George Kerrick. He was the one who gave me the opportunity to write their show. Im fairly sure I been taken away as much from this opportunity as the Homedale Band program has, if not more.

I’m more than sure that even after this Saturday, DIII, I won’t forget about about this group of kids. Like your first kiss, you don’t forget that first band that gave you a chance to do what you’re passionate about. I almost feel like I owe them more than I have given.

The Impossibility Clause

Yup… I’d say that pretty much covers everything.
