Program Notes
This powerful composition takes its inspiration from a special group of people who touched the lives of the East Mecklenburg High School (Charlotte, North Carolina) band program. Although these precious friends have since passed, the music serves to remind us that their contributions will never be forgotten and that the spirit of their lives will continue to shine in our hearts forever. This emotional work is beautifully written and scored to evoke the many emotions of life’s joy.
