GOT TALENT?
*******************************************************
Do you have younger siblings?
Have you ever attended one of their music class concerts?
I can remember one particular time I went to a 3rd Grade music class concert.; not because the singing was good enough to for an Opera House and not because the percussion section was loud enough to rival a rock band. No, I remember this particular concert because of one kid standing in the front row.
He was short, probably wouldn’t even come up to my shoulder, and had that hair that just screams, “I was not about to let my mom come near me with a COMB!” Regardless of how he looked, though, this young man caught my attention because of the smile on his face. The minute his teacher started plunking away the first notes of a song, he grinned from ear-to-ear, ready to sing. His voice carried over the other 50 kids standing with him on stage and that smile never left his face!
I always enjoy watching the Band and Chorus at State FFA Convention perform.
Why? Sure, the music is good, but even more than that I love to see the passion on each member’s face as they tell us a story with each note. Like being at a 3rd Grade music class concert, my eye is drawn to those who absolutely love to perform. While watching the State Band and Chorus, my eyes bounce from person to person as they sing or play. Members of the Band and Chorus allow the rest of us less-musically-inclined members to enjoy State Convention even more!
