Well:
Graduation is now over. It does go by in a blur doesn’t it. The bandroom is now only another silent room. Before you know it, you will all be on your seperate ways persuing your chosen courses of study at the universities you have chosen to attend. I hope you enjoyed last nights graduation. Congratulations to all. Never forget where you have come from and the people who supported you along the way. Take pride in your accomplishments and be proud of yourself in the journey on which you now embark.
To all of you who leave the family we call the band, I want you to know how very proud I am of you and of how much I am going to miss our little talks and the humour. I was once asked why I decided to become a teacher . I think I finally know the answer. You are. Thank you for allowing me to re-discover within myself the passion with which I now live.
You all have it within you to do great things not just for yourselves, but for others. Never forget that. Allow the song that is uniquely yours to be heard . Continue to spread the music.
Good luck next year to all of you and remember, there is always a place for you here in “our” bandroom.
Mr D
