Favorite Quote:
“And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can’t ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it’s already happened.” —Douglas Coupland


Sitting in the band hall

Remembering all

The long bus rides home cuddling

The tears of

When a friend commits suicide

The love of a hug

When a 1 is called

The yelling of the director

When he is trying to get us

To focus

The laughter

When we are teased

About our new haircuts

The rush of the wind

During the fall

Out on the field

Of our marching dreams

The prayer that calms us

When we feel like the stress

And the illness are too much

The music that we play every day

That shapes our mind and soul
