. Jerryokay, this year has been incredible...this year has been my favorite
year, not because it is my last year but, for the fact that we all have worked really
hard...discipline has been held to a controlable level and you all are the hardest working
band i know...
For a band with so many young people, i think we did a damn good job showing people how
we can act and play..yes, this year we've been dealt a harsh hand when it came to
judges...but we prevailed and moved on...
i love everyone very much and i'm going to miss you all next year...but everyone moves
through this band and leaves...and its just my turn...i know next will be even better
because this was just a stepping stone in a direction that will take this band all the
way to the top once again...
FOR THE SENIORS NEXT YEAR: ya'll make me proud...and alwyas keep a level head...please
keep everyone together as one group, and never leave anyone out...i'm telling you this
as advice so what happened this year won't ever happen to bring you guys down your
senior year...ya'll know what to do...so practice and never ever show the band you've given
up...cause they really look up to you all...you all are the oldest and with this title
of responsibility you all will do just fine...
(Brain, work...remember you will be in charge and don't abuse the freshman dude...he'll
get better...)
FOR THE JUNIORS OF NEXT YEAR: make me proud as well, you all are my part of my little
chitlins!!! *GOOOOOOD MORNNINGGGGG MY LITTTLEEEE CHITLINS!!!!!!!!!!!* you guys have
to help the seniors with the band...you all are the support group...if the seniors fail
to make someone feel welcome its up to you all to do it. you all also know what needs
to be done and when it needs to be done...you all are also looked up to, so goofing
around when work begins...i'm proud to have marched and played music with all of you...i
just wish i could march with you all just one more season.
FOR THE SOPHMORES OF NEXT YEAR: you all have made my senior year extra special...you
all have proven yourself to be a strong force in this band and i want to congratulate
all of you on a great marching season...you stuck through it for the first year and never
gave up...you understood the importance everyone plays in this band...we couldn't have
done any better without you....so don't doubt yourself...ever...you all have done more
than you were asked to do...so be extremely proud of everything you've accomplished...
FOR THE FRESHMEN OF NEXT YEAR: i dont no many of you all, but congrats of the straight
superiors at concert festival...i've heard so many good things about all of you and how
well you played...please allow me to welcome you all to the marching band of
hopkinsville high school...i regret not being able to work with all of you, but i'm quite sure
next year is going to rock, and you all will be a force to reckon with on the
field...look up to the older kids...they know what to do...if you have any questions don't
hesitate to ask...no one can ask a stupid question...someone will be more than happy to help
out in anyway...i wish you the best of luck...
okay, for everyone i've known and befriended...i love you all, and i wish i could come
back next year and help you all on the field but the best i can do is sit and
watch...remember, even if you can't see me...you all our all in prayers and i hope nothing but
the best of everything to you all next marching season...i truly consider myself very
fortunate to have met all of you and i will never forget the laughs, jokes, and tears we
have shared together...
never forget to keep a constant devotion to each other...you're only as strong as your
weakest link...respect each other and i don't want to hear about any fights...or i'll
come and make you apologize...Just kidding, ^-^
