My father who lived to be 100 years and passed away last week …. lived in Snow Hill his entire life. I wish he could have seen this before he passed.

Our orchestra class went to MPA 2 weeks ago for the first time in over 20 years and scored a 2 which is not Superior like every band strives for but a 2 is still a great score

This is especially important when you know how small, rural, and poor snow hill is. These kids families probably sacrificed a lot for these kids to do this. They did them proud ❤️

For those who have never done band, getting a Superior is like a gold medal. It is hard work. It is electrifying. And even one step down to an “Excellent” feels like failure.

As a former band nerd, I teared up watching this. I don’t think folks realize how much hard work goes into these programs. I even played in college & that was easily some of the best 4 yrs of my life.
