Band Music

This morning I listened to one of the top bands at my campus play at a mini concert for students. The music was fun, crisp, and at times profoundly beautiful. I am not as familiar with brass bands as I am with string orchestras, but I really enjoy the sound of a good band ensemble. They can drown out my cheers, impress me with their complex drum licks, and soothe me with a sweet melody accompanied by full, swelling chords. I am grateful for band ensembles.
