After a long week of rehearsals and practice hours, we have come to the final day before our departure at last. Although we may not be prepared for this trip in regards to our packing lists (if you are anything like me), the District 99 Honors Band is most certainly prepared for great musical performances abroad! It is quite impressive to assemble an ensemble and learn many difficult arrangements in only one week, especially considering how well we were able to play them. Make sure to remember that while we tour France and Germany and be proud of what we were able to accomplish. This tour would not be possible without our dedication to the music and the hard work everyone put in, so take a moment amidst your anticipation today to reflect and be proud. One day left! - David Atwater
