There is , there's something special
about today that goes beyond just
playing music . There's something
special about the , the theme of
veterans that the theme of being
grateful for , for those who serve .
And I think that's creating a , an
impact on the , on the communities and
the students that want to participate .
And I feel like they're being connected
to our military today . We are hosting
the second um of its kind , the
Veterans Day concert for the public
here at the Capitol Arts Center . We're
so excited about this concert . They ,
they loved it last year . We do a great
job of really making them feel valued .
They get like a certificate at the end
and um they're gonna get a challenge
coin this year and they are always so
motivated to learn this music because
it's a higher caliber than what they
play at school . Um So they're always
asking me , all right , can we , can we
get ready for this ? And they want to
have rehearsals , which is , you know ,
seeing that intrinsic motivation is
really great . My son is a drummer in
the 39th Army band and this is our
second year doing this . Already , I
can tell that the crowd has swelled by
about double . So we're very excited
about that . And what better occasion
than right before Veterans Day to have
this event being presented by the 39th
Family Band of New Hampshire . My
husband's in the National Guard Guard .
He's a recruiter . So , um , I was here
to support him and the , the rest of
the garden . We love music . So , and
to share in those that serve that are
gone before us as well . What are you
excited about the
movie , the movie theater ? I feel
really great . I love the army and
they're doing a great job to bring us
vets back together again . It's , it's
really , really , it's gold . That's
what I call it .
