To the band class of 2010 from Mr. Grush . . . Participating in the instrumental music program and putting up with me for this long does indeed deserve special recognition and some reminiscing! I look back to 2003, when Melissa started playing flute and Brandon played percussion in Beginning Band and Alex played guitar in MS Jazz Band. Austin Crockett joined the MS band in 2004 and Matt came in 2005. Jack started playing clarinet as a 9 th grader in 2006, and Mike jumped on board in 2007. It took me 3 years to convince him, but Austin Cooper started playing in jazz band this year. The eight seniors have played for a total of 42 years in the Cary Academy Band Program! Wow!!! I am proud of your musical growth, but most proud of the exceptional young people you have become. Without your amazing talent, dedication, and leadership, the Cary Academy Band Program would not have approached the level of success we have attained. I admire each of you, am deeply grateful to you, and will dearly miss you. Do you remember . . . 03-04 the Beginning Band in-class demonstration when you wrote your own music to perform. 04-05 the Busch Gardens competition? MS Band earned Superior! US Jazz Band won Grand Champion! 05-06 the performance at Campbell University. 06-07 the Disney Trip - our own video soundtrack and performance in the Magic Kingdom. 07-08 the Dixie Classic – US Jazz Band and Jazz Combo earned Superiors! 08-09 the NCMEA Convention – US and MS Jazz Bands performed for the state’s jazz teachers. 08-09 Kansas City Jazz – Cecil, Ramon, the CA Swing Dance Club Assembly, and the 30’s style outfits.

However, if I were to choose a specific moment as my "favorite memory," it would be that time when everything clicked for the Combo. We were in the deafeningly loud practice room, sans directeur, and the music just clicked -- everything sounded right. This experience is a lovely paradigm for what being in band has meant to me: I've taken it upon myself to assist disparate elements in the process of coalescence. Underclassmen, just listen - to yourself, to the recordings, to your band mates (and maybe Mr. Grush?). 11
