"I Was in Band"

Me too, VP Harris, me too…

It’s not every day that U.S. Presidential politics shows up for band rehearsal. But that’s what happened this week. I shared a few thoughts on social media, which I quote below, followed by a passage from her brief talk, and a link to both the campaign video and a complete video (albeit of mixed quality) from the back of the rehearsal. It appears to be Liberty High School in Hinesville, Georgia. Go band!!

The full visit included some stirring words about the socialization of learning and the amount of rehearsal time involved….

And being a role model means that there are going to be members of your family, people who live in your neighborhood, your classmates who watch you, and say, “Oh! That's how it's done!” And in that way, you are showing what hard work can achieve, what discipline can achieve, what teamwork can achieve.

Full remarks and (apparently) the Liberty High School fight song by the LHS marching band, below:
