A Letter From Your Drum Major
There is so much I can say about my high school band experience and my last 2 years as Drum Major. First, I would like to begin by saying, thank you. Thank you for being the absolute best band to lead even through all the obstacles we faced. Going into the role of Drum Major is filled with many emotions. Yes, I was excited but I was more nervous than anything. Not knowing how the band would react to a new person in leadership is scary; it’s something you can’t predict. But in the end, you were the most forgiving, supportive, and motivated group that I could’ve ever asked for. You were definitely my biggest cheerleaders. The past few years have been difficult for all of us. We experienced cuts in the music department, lived through a pandemic, all while trying to continue to make music together. At times, it was hard for us to stay motivated and it may have seemed as if there was no purpose. We all have our highs and lows. Playing under the Friday night lights is exhilarating. You can feel how united everyone is with school spirit. Then you enter concert season and you sometimes go for months without any applause at all. Through all of this, always remember your potential. The most growth happens when nobody is watching. The greatest thing about band is that there is never a capstone on your growth. I encourage you all to try finding joy in every time you are holding your instrument. Find the joy in every after-school rehearsal. Find the joy in every time you get to make music. This is something I wish I hadn’t taken advantage of. In a blink of an eye, my time with the AGHS band is over. Being the Drum Major and seeing you all work so hard was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. There were times where I needed you far more than you needed me, and I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart. Once again, thank you for being so kind, thank you for your support, and most of all thank you for giving me this experience. I will forever be grateful for the family we have formed, and I hope you cherish the memories just as much as I have. I love you all!
