[Applause] [Music] [Applause] i know people are going crazy at home they're like so some people ask what is the story of the scitec band 99 of our students have never played an instrument in their lives yet look what they can do our students are three times more likely to stay in school our students were the recipients of the massachusetts commonwealth award the state's highest honor for achievement in the arts our students even received a personal letter from president barack obama praising them for dreaming big dreams and improving our community but that is not the story of the scitec fan or at least not the whole story the story of the scitec ban is about family and about serving others we have a banned commandment that says seek to serve not to be served seek to serve not to be served today our band family wants to serve you through this performance the reality is that we're the most connected generation in human history yet people are more lonely now than ever maybe you feel alone maybe you feel hopeless well our scitec band students are here right now to say that you are not alone that you are loved that you are special that you have value and that you can achieve anything and become anything no matter what anyone tells you [Music] to be honest it's been a really rough year we've lost one of our own band members juan rondon we'd like to dedicate our next song high hopes to juan the lyrics of this song say be something greater go make a legacy juan you made a legacy here in our band family and you will never be forgotten other lyrics in high hopes say that we had to have high high hopes for a living didn't know but i always had a feeling i was going to be that one in a million always had high high hopes juan you were that one in a million everyone here everyone watching you are that one in a million as you witness firsthand the love this scitec band family has for each other and for what we do through this performance our hope is that you will be inspired to have high hopes for yourself to lift people up around you who feel alone to make a difference in someone's life and to be the light in the darkness [Music] so [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] my [Music] [Applause] i know we have a lot of people at home that are in and they're in front of their tvs they're in front of their phones they're like they're going crazy all right uh and you know what there's someone else that i want to go crazy for i am crazy for this person uh not in a cr in a weird way i'm sorry mr lim but um miss our principal uh we cannot do anything we do without the support of our admin team uh so to have a school that supports the arts that supports music that makes it possible for everything we don't take it for granted and i want them to know that we love them we care for them and we appreciate all that they do for us and i want to hand the microphone up to your principal mr lilly thank you thank you thank you good evening ladies and gentlemen uh and welcome all of you viewing live stream and thank you to focus springfield for getting this and supporting us on this effort we really appreciate it um i'm not going to talk very long because i want to hear you guys play but there's a couple things i do want to say and that is i want to be clear in that there is no replacement in life there's no replacement in life for hard work and the fact that you are here this evening is the product of all of your hard work and if you continue to work hard and if you continue to persevere you will always you will always be successful in whatever it is you choose to do because like i said there is never a replacement for hard work so continue working hard continue persevering and please please always know and trust that everything about you matters so play hard and play loud and i would be remiss if i didn't say let's go let's go let's go [Applause] well good because our next piece is the loudest one principal liam so we're gonna dedicate this one to you all right we learned this one you came to our class to watch us as we learned it now we get to put the whole band together so this is for you
