Let me begin by echoing Dan and Carol’s post from yesterday. That was a wonderful note...and so true.
From my perspective....while visiting Spain for the first time was absolutely amazing – a fabulous part of the trip was being with such a wonderful group of young men and women as the LZHS Marching Band. It was a pleasure being with the staff, teachers, administrators and chaperones; along with other ‘adults’ attending. But, the young men and women of the band were exceptional and represented Lake Zurich and America with dignity, discipline, talent and class.
As a former Marching Band Booster for appx. 9 years with our 3 children in a competitive band program in Ohio – I have participated in many trips; though none internationally. I must say that I've never been so extremely impressed by a trip, that I believe will be forever remembered by all that attended.
Of course, some will say that I’m a bit biased in my comments and feelings – and you would be correct. Biased in that the leader of this adventure just happens to be my Son – ‘Papajazz Thompson’. I was deeply touched over a year ago to have been asked by him to come along and be with him! Great job, Son; I'm truly proud of you.
Thanks Lake Zurich for letting me be part of this…and for being such a 'world class' organization.
