My oldest fella (who's a senior this year, waaaa) plays the French horn in the marching band. As the horn section leader, he instituted a mantra that served them well: stand above the crowd. I'm proud of him for that.
Stand out...rise above.

Love everything about your art today and especially how you were inspired by your son's ideals and leadership. My son...trumpet/section leader in HS and now continuing in college...has had similar sentiments. I will be sure he sees this. Awesome!
