This piece would fit perfectly into your Veterans Day program or be a great selection to add a little drama to your fall or spring concerts. The message is heartfelt and speaks of friendship and the positive belief in another person. A mellow piano accompaniment adds a great deal to the feel of the piece.

Type of ensemble: In this piece the baritone doubles the melody in many cases giving the boys a chance to really shine and get into the lyrics.

Technique teaching points:  Very fluid and dramatic melodic lines offer some great ideas for sustained breath control and dynamic contrast.

Story line:  This piece is dedicated to all those special people in our lives that have made a positive impact on us. They could be parents, friends, first-responders or service people that have made our lives better.

Program placement:  This selection can stand alone in the middle of your program or could also be a special dedication piece for someone in the audience or community.
