Music is what life sounds like. ~ Eric Olson
8th grade Band
During The Temple of Ka Uka, the band used their hands and voices to add rhythm and sound.
It's a song inspired by the sights and sounds of Hawai'i.
I didn't get any good close-ups of the 6th grade band,
so my guys gave me a home concert.
Being in the band is a metaphor for life. The individual members need to work on their own instrument, carefully honing their craft. They can mark improvement in themselves while being part of a larger group. When they are all working in harmony, they are a powerful force. Each member contributes in his own way. Everyone working toward a common goal. You might be a leader, filled with melody, like the trumpets. You might be the strong bass, offering a foundation for the chords. You might be a specialized instrument like the piccolo or the French Horn, or you might be one of the varied pieces in the percussion section, offering a unique way to keep the rhythm.
Go. Create. Inpsire!
Journaling Prompt: What instrument are you most like? How do you and your craft fit into the big band of life?
