Subject: Re: Homecoming report Author: Mike Groves [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 02:51:52 11/05/03 Wed In reply to: David Harris 's message, "Re: Homecoming report" on 07:13:35 10/23/03 Thu Wow David, thank you for those kind words! I have to say I too enjoyed seeing you again, and this time it is I who is in awe. Successful in music, in marriage (great gal you got there), and in life...you definitely have it all together. Thank you for being there. For those of you who didn't come to the Homecoming game, I just want to say this...It wasn't about reliving high school, it wasn't about living in the past. I feel it was just something as simple as being with old friends, family of a sort, being together as we were. Not one of the students in the band showed any resentment having the elders there, quite the contrary...the section leaders came up to us(those that chose to bring an instrument)and invited us to join them in our old section. The band Vp came up to us before the game and welcomed us, totally respectfully. Rey Meza told us while the band was doing their homecoming thing on the field that the kids were so excited about us being there, that they went and did some research about our group. They were completely stunned by the fact that we did the Guinness thing, just couldn't believe that something like that was possible. Bottom line here was they were truly thrilled to have us there. As I said before, Rey Meza wants to make this an annual event. I'm all for it, not because I want to play in a high school marching band again, but because we, as a group have something to contribute to those kids. Seeing us, 10, 20 30 years later, some still doing the music, some off in other worlds, but all still bonded by the experience we shared "back in the day", shows those kids that some things in this ever-changing world DO endure, and lifelong friendships are formed at that period of life. It's a good thing to do, not just for ourselves, but more so for them. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
