Band Camp

This past weekend was SUPER busy - but among the craziness I had the opportunity to dash the construction and the deluge rain to see Tim and his students perform at Band Camp. We were on the phone several times while I was driving to Lansing because the rain was coming down so hard that they thought they might have to cancel. They've never cancelled in 22 years - so Tim devised plan B and we saw the band play meso forte in the cafeteria at Hubbard Hall.

One of the greatest aspects of seeing Tim and his band is that Tim's LOVE for what he does really shines through. It is so evident that he thoroughly enjoys his career. He gives bold instruction, talks quietly with a student to say that he really likes how they've done this week, he meanders through the crowd of parents telling them how appreciative he is that they were flexible, he smiles at the flags to let them know he hasn't forgotten that they are tucked in the corner of the cafeteria and he waves his arms with enthusiasm as he conducts and then turns it over to his "fresh out of the box" drum major!

Tim - thanks for making this world a place where kids love music!!
