All the time in the news you see stories about the kids in the low income areas of DC and America for that matter, who are doing the wrong thing. Rarely do you hear the stories like this. I grew up in DC and I am a musician. I have worked with High School bands all over the state of Florida. I have worked with bands that have so many more things than this band, they have better equipment, nicer environment, more money but I would gladly work with this band over any of the bands I have worked with. They have tremendous heart. I hope and pray that they continue to do the right thing and defy the stereotypes and drive on and do great things. May you be the change in the city and the world that you want to be!
