One of the conductors during the performance mentioned that the public school band is a distinctly American phenomenon.  The Old Lady herself played flute in bands all through elementary and high school.  She would like to publicly honor here those who so influenced her life: Sonny Thorpe, flute teacher; Roy M. Lee, founder and director of the West End Elementary Band; and all of the directors of the Southwest High School Band – Robert Heinz, Donald Cooper, Carl Bedwell, and Paul Mitchell.DSCF7449

When Azalea Winds played The Stars and Stripes Forever, the piccolo solo brought tears to the Old Lady’s eyes.  That was HER part when she wore the red and gold with the Southwest High School Marching Wolves.
