When I think back to high school, the first memories I think of are from
my (many, many) days spent with the band. I was not only a band
student, but a spent all of my high school days with the River Guard.
If it wasn't for the phenomenal program that Steve developed and I was
privileged , I really don't know what those formative years would've
been like in my life. Mr. Robertson instilled so many values to us as
his students. We learned discipline, perseverance, competition,
sportsmanship, teamwork, dedication, and oh, so much more!
Without
band, I wouldn't have traveled all over the NW and to Florida twice, I
wouldn't have been able to compete (and win!) on a national level, I
wouldn't have realized how strong my love for music and dance are, and I
wouldn't have formed the amazing bonds with so many friends that were
also a part of that magical program. The list could go on and on...I
got to work with talented instructors, incredible equipment, supportive
parents, I even got a few solos in guard (which I'm still super honored
and proud of) during my heyday.
I am incredibly grateful for my
literal blood, sweat, and tears poured into and dedicated to the program
of the most memorable, passionate, extraordinary educator I will ever
have thee privilege of working with, Mr. Steve Robertson. I know that I
would not be the person I am today if it weren't for Steve. I just
want to say congratulations on a fantastic career. You have touched the
lives of thousands of students and truly inspired them not only to push
and succeed in music, but also life.
