Listening to this for the first time and definitely relating to it with going through my own depression. Never knew this existed until I looked at the conference band music folder I got for my conference band and definitely like this piece Edit: Now that I have played this piece in concert, it has become something that really resonates with me and something that makes me look over my life and realize how long I've been dealing with mental health issues. Thanks to this song, no, this project, I feel like I can become who I want to be, and actually overcome my creative block to write a song about my trip through mental health and depression. Thank you, Randall Standridge, for giving the world this piece to listen to and play.

I didn’t make it into my school’s higher level band because I had an anxiety attack during the audition. I was upset, I thought I wouldn’t be doing anything worthwhile in the lower band. The higher one went to competitions and conferences and seemed to be every composer and their mother’s favorite place to come do workshops with. My band was the one nobody remembered, nobody talked about, nobody even seemed to know existed if they weren’t in the program. But then my director gave us this song. It made me realize that we may not get all the praise and attention from the rest of the world, but we look out for one another. We care, and even if it won’t make headlines we can make a change. I hope someone in the audience of our concert later this month is as moved by this piece as I am.
