I performed this song at the world premiere for it in Green Bay, Wisconsin. At the time I was in band 3 in Franklin Middle School, and I loved this song. (I was one of the kids who played trumpet 3)

I performed this song at the world premiere for it in Green Bay, Wisconsin! It was a mix of Green Bay West High School kids and Green Bay Franklin Middle School kids. We worked so hard on this song for months, most of the kids still have parts of it memorized. (I was one of the kids who played Mallet 1 for percussion!)
