Music… For Good

At iMOM.com (I work for iMOM) we have a music monitor because, well, there is a lot of bad music out there for kids.  And moms need to know about it.

So here is a really good music story.  It is the story about how music can be used “For Good.”  Julia is a senior, and as a 4-year chorus member at Plant High School she is allowed a solo number in the Senior Showcase.  Julia had never sung a solo and needed some help.  She got it, and closed the show to a tearful, standing ovation.

You see, Plant High School has 250 chorus members and four different levels.  Julia is the only member to spend four years at the same level.   Not a sad thing for Julia, she loved it.  She got to know every class as they moved through the program.  She got to perform with every beginning chorus for four years and even learned not to wave at her crush, Will, while on stage.

So at the Senior Showcase, Julia was featured – by her side, supporting her vocally, two fellow seniors,  singing back up are all her crushes from each of her four years, a junior in college, a sophomore in college, a freshman in college, and a senior in high school.  To the side, doing sign language, some fellow classmates from this year.

There is a lot of bad that can be said about music. But in this case it is all good because it was music that brought these different kids together.

All of these young adults volunteered to support Julie.  All of them love this child who never said an unkind word and never failed to hug them in the hall EVERY time she saw them.  Julia changed them for good.
