Teamwork!
Posted by kmedlin on October 19, 2007
My wife Angie and I had the pleasure of attending the Ozarko Showband Festival at Missouri State University. It was amazing. Willard came away champions once again. The fact that we won the competition is not the most important part of the day. We were able to see 240 students working together as a team!!!! They looked like an army when they were walking toward the performance. Mr. Church, Mrs. Meraz and Mr. Chapman, all pour their heart and soul into their kids. In the end it does not matter that we are the largest, it matters that they perform and act as a team. These kids are truly fun to be around. The day was filled with fun, camaraderie, and pride. They are committed to each other, to the band as a whole, and to their community. It is a great feeling to be a part of something bigger than yourself. I know that feeling everyday that I come to work. Great job to the Cutting Edge!
Have a great weekend!
