The band director made a really nice speech tonight about how this year&#8217;s seniors entered high school in 2019 when everything was easy breezy, then they proceeded to face every variation of band and choir imaginable. Singing\/playing outdoors in the winters, performing with masks, social distancing, recording performances, live streaming, etc. Yet they stuck with it. She acknowledged how easy it would have been to quit when band\/choir no longer looked\/sounded the same and took a lot more work, but this year&#8217;s seniors stuck with it. It was a sweet and touching statement. Then she announced that all of these 4-yr seniors would get a snazzy fleecy zip-up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"591\" height=\"688\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/wp-16709820396407288879393835520997.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"19000\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/wp-16709820396407288879393835520997.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/?attachment_id=19000\" class=\"wp-image-19000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/wp-16709820396407288879393835520997.jpg 591w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/wp-16709820396407288879393835520997-430x500.jpg 430w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/wp-16709820396407288879393835520997-258x300.jpg 258w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 591px) 100vw, 591px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/wp-16709820386894224321886314949214-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"18999\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/wp-16709820386894224321886314949214-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/?attachment_id=18999\" class=\"wp-image-18999\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/wp-16709820386894224321886314949214-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/wp-16709820386894224321886314949214-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/wp-16709820386894224321886314949214-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/wp-16709820386894224321886314949214-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/wp-16709820386894224321886314949214-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/wp-16709820386894224321886314949214-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the jazz band&#8217;s final song, with many solos, including B&#8217;Lake on the flute and Lex on the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vibraphone\" target=\"_blank\">vib<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vibraphone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">e<\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vibraphone\" target=\"_blank\">s<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"HHS Winter Concert - Jazz Band performing C Jam Blues by Duke Ellington\/arr.
