We attended the Surrey Youth Orchestra's 50th Anniversary last night. It was magnificent. High School band is high school band but when you add a sea of strings it becomes a symphony. Brass, woodwinds, strings, it all comes together.
It's like when Martin Luther King said "With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of this nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood."
They had all the groups on stage for the finale and it reminded me of one of the finales from the old Blaine Jazz festival where they'd have all the groups perform sing sing sing together. It was very impressive.
What I saw last night represented a whole lot of work. Young kids who don't spend all their time scrolling and blazing. Young kids who practice and spend their time doing something constructive. This is something worth supporting.
