Banding Together

Last night I attended my brother's band concert. After one of the songs, my mom leaned over to me and said, "You could write a blog post about how it takes all of the instruments together to make a band." I thought that was an excellent idea, so here it goes.

Trumpets, tubas, and trombones; clarinets, flutes, and saxophones. While you and I may prefer one instrument to play, is one inherently superior today? All the sounds together make a song, pleasing to the ear and strong. One without the rest may do, but banded together are somehow more true.

In my mind, this same principle that applies to a band, applies to humankind as a whole. Everyone plays a different, yet vital role in society. There are teachers, mothers, technicians, doctors, etc, all of which are needed. So if you feel insignificant today, remember that your tune too is contributing to the marvelous symphony of society.We need you!
