Preparing my letter caused me to spend some time reflecting on my years in band. I can honestly say that I have nothing but fond memories from being in band. I was not involved in sports or any other school activities, and being in band allowed me to make close friendships and do things I never would have otherwise been able to do in High School. I have many great memories of bus rides, band camp, field shows, parades and my favorite, the Hawaii trip. Going to Hawaii is something that never would have been possible for me to do at that point in my life if it hadn’t been for band, and I have so many great memories from that trip that I know I will never forget. Music is something that continues to be important to me in my adult life and I have a great appreciation for what it takes to make great music from my experience in band. want to express my thanks to all you did to make my experience in band a wonderful one. As an adult I think I can now appreciate more fully how much hard work you put into the program to make it a success for us all. Your dedication is appreciated more than we can express and will never be forgotten.
